Police Link Man to Armed Robbery

— A Lincoln man faces felony charges after he reportedly robbed another man at knifepoint on East Rogers Street in Lincoln earlier this week.

Police arrested Antonio K. Davis, 32, of 612 County Ave. in connection with felony aggravated assault, third-degree battery and theft of property.

According to an arrest report, Daniel Kersten met with police about 10:15 p.m. Wednesday to report an armed robbery.

Davis reportedly attacked Kersten from behind with a knife on East Rogers Street. Kersten grabbed the knife and struggled with Davis, who then knocked Kersten to the ground and began kicking him, the report said.

Police said Davis dragged Kersten behind a garage and emptied his pockets of $42 and a cellphone. Kersten reportedly identified Davis through a photo lineup.

Davis was in the Washington County Detention Center on $5,000 bond Saturday.
