DELAND, FL – Two 18-year-olds on juvenile probation and with lengthy criminal histories were tracked down and arrested on armed robbery and other charges Tuesday after the gunpoint robbery of a juvenile victim in the DeLand-area of Spring Hill Park.
According to authorities, just after 3:30 p.m., the two suspects were at the park to meet the victim, who had arranged a meeting through social media to buy $20 worth of marijuana. The victim told deputies he and his girlfriend, also a juvenile, were seated at a park bench when the unknown males approached. The victim walked toward the pair and that’s when one pulled out a handgun, pointed it at the victim’s face and demanded his gold chain valued at $3,000.
The victim complied, and after the robbery, the suspects fled toward Delaware Avenue. Moments later, responding Volusia sheriff’s deputies tracked the pair to a home on South Delaware, where they were found hiding in a small shed. Deputies ordered the suspects to exit the shed and they did so without incident. Upon a search of the suspects, the gold chain was located in Grimes’ jeans pocket.
Javontea Ross of Deltona and Kenyonte Grimes of DeLand were arrested and charged with robbery with a firearm, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, grand theft and child abuse. Additionally, Grimes is charged with carrying a concealed weapon.
