Bond set for man accused of concealing child’s death
Crime scene tape

Bond was set Monday morning for a man accused of concealing the death of a 6-year-old child.

Judge Paul Rose set Brandon Robinson’s bond at $100,000, or $200,000 in property, for the charges he faces in connection with the death of A’niyah Perry. Shelly Perry, the girl’s mother, had her bond set two weeks ago by Judge Jay Stewart.

Robinson also faces charges of cruelty to children, tampering with evidence and false statements and writings.

Hinesville police officers discovered the girl’s body May 1 after her mother called authorities to report her child was unresponsive. During Perry’s bond hearing on June 26, HPD Detective Jonathan Santiago testified Perry told them the child died in another state and was brought to Hinesville. She initially told officers responding to her Saunders Avenue home that she had put the child to sleep the afternoon of May 1 but when Perry went to wake her daughter about four hours later, she was unresponsive.

Santiago said security camera footage showed Perry and her boyfriend, Robinson, bringing the already deceased child, wrapped in a blanket, into the apartment.

Two teens are facing numerous charges after being accused of a stealing a vehicle from a Hinesville dealership.

According to Liberty County Sheriff’s Office Public Information Officer Lt. Phillip Bohannon and Hinesville Police Department Assistant Chief Terronova Smith, a Dodge Durango was reported missing from Liberty Chrysler’s lot in Hinesville when employees reporting for work noticed the business had been broken into. When law enforcement officers arrived, they began looking at security footage and discovered a vehicle was driven off the lot shortly after 5 a.m. Tuesday.

Authorities believe the teens found a key for the vehicle.

A BOLO, or be on the lookout, was placed on the vehicle and according to Bohannon, a Liberty County deputy spotted it on Airport Road and 15th Street around 7:30 a.m. and began to chase it when the driver refused to stop.

The deputy called off the chase near E.G. Miles Parkway and Pineland Avenue due to heavy traffic.

Smith said the vehicle was later spotted on Pineland Avenue and Hinesville police officers began canvassing the area in search of it.

At around 7:38 a.m. the stolen vehicle was located at the Parkers on McLarry’s Curve on East Oglethorpe Highway and the teen suspect was in the store. When officers arrived, they apprehended a 14-year-old. A 15-year-old suspect was later apprehended, according to Smith. Smith was unsure who the driver of the vehicle was.

Both are facing burglary and theft charges and were taken to a local Youth Detention Center.

Smith said there was damage to the vehicle but could not comment if it had occurred while in the teen’s possession.
