Annapolis Capital Punishment

From the Annapolis Police Reports:

ARMED ROBBERY: On February 10th at about 12:01 AM, a 17 year old
Shiley Street resident was walking home in the area of King George
Street near the College Creek Bridge when she was accosted by three
suspects, two males and one female. She became aware of the suspect
following her and crossed the street. One of the male suspects ran past
her, then turned around and blocked her path. The other two grabbed her
from behind and demanded money. She fought with them, until one of the
males pulled out handgun and placed it against her head. He told her to
stop screaming. The victim continued hollering and resisting. The
suspects removed her pants , belt, and a shoe. The female suspect told
the armed suspect to shoot the victim as she continued to struggle. The
victim heard a click from the gun, but it apparently failed to
discharge. As the struggle continued, they fell against a parked car
several times, eventually causing the car*s alarm to go off. This
apparently caused the suspects to discontinue the attack and flee. They
were last seen running on St. John*s College campus. The victim was
able to give a good description of the suspects. and officers located
three suspect nearby a short time later. Two of them were positively
identified by the victim as being the ones who had attacked her. The
third could not be identified by the victim, but he had in his
possession a pair of brass knuckles and a bb gun that was similar in
appearance to the gun that victim said she was threatened with. Dewayne
Allen 26, of Clay St., and Tiera Williams, 20, of Merryman Ct. were both
arrested and charged with Armed Robbery along with other related
offenses. They are both being currently held at the Detention Center in
lieu of $500,000.00 bonds. 19 year old John Emory Simms, of Town Pines
Court, was arrested and charged with Possession of Brass Knuckles. His
possible involvement in the robbery is still under investigation. The
victim*s stolen clothing items were found strewn about the St.
John*s College Campus.

CP NOTES: This was a lucky victim--in so far as a victim can ever be lucky. Of course, if you are walking alone across the College Creek bridge at midnight, you are almost asking to get in trouble.
