HENDERSON, Ky. (WEHT) — An Evansville couple is in custody after police say they were part of an armed robbery at Schnute Towers which left one victim shot in the chest and abdomen.
According to police records, Jessica Robb and DeShawn Greenwell were arrested after playing a role in an alleged armed robbery around 5:46 p.m. Saturday night, which led to the victim being shot twice.
During questioning at the hospital, the victim’s son says his father sells marijuana from the apartment. The victim’s son says as soon as Robb was allowed inside, two male suspects stormed in with firearms, struck his father in the head with the firearm and demanded he hand over his “weed and money.” The victim says he thought the firearms were fake and reached over for a pellet gun, which eventually led to him being shot twice.
The two other suspects in the alleged robbery have yet to be identified.
When police questioned Robb, she admitted to the armed robbery plan. She says she was familiar with the victim and that her trust was used to gain access to the apartment. It is said the other two suspects had firearms with them. When being asked what her cut of the robbery would be, she says was not going to get anything out of it.
