BENTONVILLE -- Three teens were arrested Saturday in connection with an armed robbery outside a Rogers motel.
Isaiah Lemar Deshaun Jackson, 19, of Little Rock and Timon Montavious Agnew, 18, of Rogers were being held Wednesday on $75,000 bonds in the Benton County Jail. Chelsey Danielle Martin, 19, of Rogers was being held in the jail Wednesday on a $25,000 bond.
The three were arrested in connection with aggravated robbery, engaging in a continuing gang, organization or enterprise, aggravated assault, terroristic threatening and possession of a controlled substance.
Douglas Alsobrook called police at 4:14 a.m. Saturday and said two men pulled guns on him and a friend at the Town & Country Inn at 2102 S. Eighth St., according to a probable cause affidavit.
Alsobrook said he and a man argued about money, and the man threatened to kill him and shot a round over his head, according to the affidavit.
Alsobrook said he told his friend, Ryan Meroney, to give up his money and Meroney threw a $100 bill and two $20 bills at the suspects and they left in a vehicle driven by a woman, according to the affidavit.
Police stopped Jackson, Agnew and Martin in the vehicle.
Police found two 9mm pistols with ammunition in the vehicle, according to the affidavit. Police found two shell casings at the scene.
Martin told police she called Meroney to buy some marijuana and the $140 was stolen from her, according to the affidavit. Martin said she bought the marijuana and they took the marijuana back so she wanted her money.
Martin said Agnew didn't try to shoot anyone and he fired away from the motel. Martin said she heard a man say, "I'll pay you" after the gunshots, according to the affidavit.
Martin denied being member of the Bloods but told police she associates with the gang, according to the affidavit. Martin said Jackson and Agnew are Bloods and associated with "Piru," according to the affidavit.
Arraignments for the three are scheduled for Oct. 8 in Circuit Judge Brad Karren's court.
