Mother/Son Duo Charged in Laurel Robbery
Released Tuesday, April 28, 2009
Laurel – The Delaware State Police have arrested a mother and son for their role in the robbery of the Sandy Fork General store located on Laurel Road. Police responded to the business on Sunday, April 26 at approximately 6:05 pm after 911 was called reporting the robbery.
The ensuing investigation determined that a white male suspect entered the store and acted as if he was shopping for items to buy. He then confronts the clerk and asks to purchase cigarettes when he removes a crow bar from underneath his clothing and demands money. The clerk opened the cash register and the male suspect reached in the drawer and removed approximately $100.00 cash.
He then fled the store and was observed entering the passenger seat of a Nissan vehicle, which displayed a Maryland registration. The clerk observed a white female operator and was able to obtain the registration number. A subsequent investigation revealed the suspect vehicle was registered to Kimberlee A. Davis, 39 of Laurel. Additionally, detectives learned that Ms. Davis had a son named Nicholas J. Davis, 18 of the same Willow Drive address in Laurel.
The son’s physical characteristics matched those of the robber. As the investigation continued detectives learned both persons resided at a home on Willow Drive. Police responded to the home this morning at 8:15 and contacted the duo. Through interviews, detectives linked both persons to the crime. The Nissan was also recovered by detectives at the home.
Both Davis’ were charged with Robbery 1st degree, possession of a Deadly Weapon during Commission of a Felony and Conspiracy 2nd degree. They were each remanded to the Sussex Correctional Institute in lieu of a $52,000 cash only bail.
