Police Blotter: Man Robbed, Shot After Forced Into House

Calvin Davis of Kirby Avenue told police he was forced into a house on 18th Street and wound up getting robbed and shot.

He said he was leaving a friend's house when two black males at gunpoint told him to go up to a residence and open the door. He said they followed him and burst into the house.

Mr. Davis said he was shoved onto a couch and a pistol was held to his head. He said his wallet was lifted.

He said the second black male forced the resident to the rear of the home.

Mr. Davis said he attemp
ed to flee, but the second man came out and fired at him, striking him in the leg. Mr. Davis said he then jumped through a window to escape.

Teresa Westmoreland of Harrison said she was stopped by

two
black males at 1900 Dodds Ave. She said one got
into her Ford Explorer, displayed a small black gun, and demanded money.


She said she handed over $160, and the robber also jerked three necklaces from her neck. She said they were valued at $800, $500 and $500.

The report says Ms. Westmoreland "does not wish to prosecute due to her distrust in our justice system. She just wants her items back."

Charles Green said he was walking home on Kirby Avenue when a dark-colored Chevrolet Caprice pulled up. He said three black males demanded cash.

Mr. Green gave up his wallet and his wedding ring as they held a gun on him.

Katrina Shaw said she arrived home at her residence on Lake Vista Drive and saw a strange car. She said she went in
the garage and was walking up the stairs when a white male came down the stairs.

She said he yelled, "We gotta roll," and ran back up the stairs. Mrs. Shaw ran up after him and saw
him
run out a k
itchen door. She went out the front and saw him and a second white male get in
a white Dodge Dynasty and speed away.

A mitre saw and two remote controls were missing.

Lisa Spearman said she was gone for 15 minutes from her residence on 12th Avenue. She returned home and heard glass breaking, then she saw a black male jumping off the deck and running through a hole in the fence. Police said the intruder had removed three boards from the privacy fence.

Officers said the residence was ransacked and there were muddy fingerprints throughout. Jewelry worth $2,600 was missing.

Mickey Robinson of Rosemont Drive said burglars kicked open a side door and ransacked his residence.

Officers were called to take fingerprints from smudges made on some family pictur

Angela Green of Morrison Springs Road said a thief came in at night by climbing through a kitchen window.

She got up to find her computer monitor near the front door and th
e tower
on the floor.

The burglar had gotten her car keys and driven off in her 1995 Eagle Talon.

Milton Ratliff of T
arlton Avenue said he gave a ride to a black male he knew only as "Rick." He said he stopped at Poss Drive and got out, leaving Rick in the vehicle with the keys in the ignition.


When he came back, Rick and the 1990 Olds Regency were gone. The car was finally found on St. Elmo Avenue.

Shawn McConnell of Fielding Road said he was driving his white 1997 Toyota Avalon in the 2100 block of Gunbarrel Road. He said a car full of teenagers drove up in a blue Saturn with a driveout tag of 3/1/04.

He said one of the teens shot his car with yellow paintball.

Darrell O'Neal of Basswood Drive said a neighbor took his pitbull and sold it to a black mal
e named "Fitzgerald" for $50.


Police said the neighbor agreed to get the dog back for the owner.

Carolyn Bohlman, manager of the Favorite Market on
Highway 15
3, said she watched a black
male walk up and down an aisle and snatch five packs of Goody's headache powders.


She said she chased him out the door and across th
e parking lot of Gadd Crossing before he got away.
