Dothan, Ala. — (WDNews) Four people, including a juvenile, are facing robbery charges after police say they held up a person at gunpoint Monday evening in Dothan.
Officers responded around 6:00 p.m. on May 26 to the 2900 block of Saint Peter Street, near Ross Clark Circle, after a report of an armed robbery. Investigators say the victim was seated in a vehicle visiting an acquaintance when a suspect entered the passenger side, pulled a gun, and demanded property.
Three more individuals then reportedly approached from a nearby home—also armed—and helped carry out the robbery. The suspects fled into a nearby residence, but patrol officers quickly secured the area and detained those inside.
Police arrested 19-year-old Malachi Ray of Columbia, 18-year-old Dallas Porter of Dothan, Camron Jackson of Dothan, and a juvenile under the age of 18. All four are charged with first-degree robbery. The juvenile is being charged as an adult, but their identity is not being released due to Alabama privacy laws.
Authorities say this type of dangerous behavior won’t be tolerated and those involved will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
