Smyrna– The Delaware State Police have arrested 18-year-old Xavier D. Byrd of Smyrna, and 20-year-old Alexander Brummitt of Kennedyville, MD, in connection with a robbery.

The incident occurred on March 26, 2020 at approximately 2:42 a.m., when Troopers were dispatched to the parking lot of the boat ramp off of Woodland Beach Road, Smyrna, for a report of a robbery.  Upon arrival, Troopers learned that an 18-year-old male victim had made arrangements with his friend, Xavier Byrd to go to Woodland Beach.  Boyd picked up the victim from his residence and the two drove to the area together.  Upon arrival, Byrd told the victim to get out of the vehicle.  As the victim exited the vehicle, he was quickly approached by another acquaintance of his, Alexander Brummitt.  Both Byrd and Brummitt began to physically assault the victim and demanded everything in his pockets.  The victim turned over his cell phone prior to both Byrd and Brummitt fleeing the area in Byrd’s vehicle.
