Mugger arrested by police
While police search for the guys who jacked the pool hall, their quick work has landed a teenage boy behind bars, charged with robbery. On Thursday, twenty-one year old student Orlando Novelo reported to police that he was the victim of a robbery that occurred around two o’clock on Thursday morning. Novelo told police that as he was riding his cycle at the corner of Neal Pen Road and Central American Boulevard, he was approached by another cyclist who held him up with a knife and took away his Nike tennis shoes and graduation ring. The value of the items is estimated at three hundred and seventy five dollars. Investigations by a mobile patrol unit in the area, at the time of the incident, resulted in the arrest of seventeen year old Kenrick Jonhson. Police say they found the one hundred and twenty-five dollar tennis in Johnson’s possession.
