Armed robbery
Jan. 20, 2007
Leroy Coffer Highway
Fleming
Deputies responded to a residence where the complainant reported he had been robbed at gunpoint. According to the report, the complainant stated he had been out drinking at a lounge earlier and became friendly with a light skinned black male and his two friends. When he became intoxicated, the light skinned black male offered him a ride home and he accepted. Once home, the complainant reported, one of the guys asked if he could come in and have a beer, so the complainant invited them into his house. Immediately, one of the guys pulled out a gun and pointed it at the complainant while the other guy hit him over the head with his own pool stick. The complainant managed to run out of the house and later observed the guys fleeing the scene. Deputies found the house in disarray and a broken pool stick on the floor. About $400 was reported missing along with several rifles, a knife with a 12-inch blade, and some clothing.
