Three men, including two from Port Arthur, were indicted this week for allegedly robbing several men in Beaumont.

Kenrell Abraham, 27, of New Iberia, La., and Port Arthur residents Jordan Michael Jones Jr., 19, and Edward Brown, 19, were indicted on aggravated robbery charges stemming from a Dec. 6 incident.

According to the probable cause affidavits for the arrests of the three men, Beaumont Police were dispatched to a robbery in progress in the 4800 block of Steelton. The arriving officer saw two men, one of which was identified as Kenrell Abraham, exit the yard on Steelton and evade on foot southbound.

A second officer reportedly saw Abraham in the 4700 block of Ironton, where he discarded clothing.

He reportedly continued to evade officers as officers called out to him.

Abraham allegedly tried to hide behind a car in a driveway in the 2500 block of Tyler and was taken into custody.

Edward Brown allegedly fled from police as well and was later found under a shed by a K-9 officer.
