Armed Thugs Try To Take Over Romare Bearden Charlotte for NYE

Reports were that a total of five thugs were arrested New Years Eve by CMPD attempting to drive into uptown Charlotte with weapons during the end of the year festivities.

First reports were this was an unfounded rumor. Turns out it was 6 and not 5.

CMPD announced the following arrests.

Rassell Young, 18, is charged with Carrying a Concealed Weapon, Resist/Delay/Obstruct and Possession of Marijuana.

Genesis Roland, 19, is charged with Carrying a Concealed Weapon, Resist/Delay/Obstruct and Possession of Marijuana.

Jergio Jesus Pavon-Reyes, 18, is charged with Possession of a Stolen Firearm.

Murray Edwards, 42, is charged with Carrying a Concealed Weapon and Disorderly Conduct.

Treshawn Goff, 27, is charged with Carrying a Concealed Weapon.

Dashawn Douglas, 29, is charged with Carrying a Concealed Weapon.

Additionally:

Kaheem Brower, 28, is charged with Affray.

Donaven McCoy, 29, is charged with Affray.

As well as ten juveniles were arrested and they ranged in age from 10 – 15-years-old. Their charges include violating the Youth Protection Ordinance, Possession of Marijuana and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia. Subsequently, all parents/guardians of the arrested juveniles were cited and charged with Contributing to the Delinquency and Neglect by Parents and Others.

As we have previously noted Mecklenburg County DA Spencer Merriweather doesn't agree with the YPO and will undoubtedly dismiss the charges against the parents.

Thank you Tina Quizon @TinaQuizon chasing down the facts. 

Hidey Hole?

 Y'all please tell me this is a radar unit?

SouthPark Harris Teeter Bear Spray Hoodrats Still Being Arrested

You might recall back in October CMPD Command staff proudly telling the gathered news crowd that Officers had arrested the SouthPark Morrocroft Harris Teeter "Bear Spray" Organized Retail Shoplifting crooks.

Said CMPD Major Ryan Butler:

“The city has seen a rise in these crimes, which are increasingly violent and threaten the safety of retail employees and customers.”

CMPD officers had located and arrested five suspects who committed numerous shoplifting incidents throughout the City of Charlotte. The shoplifting incidents escalated into Common Law Robberies when the suspects sprayed retail employees with bear spray in order to flee the scene.

The case that was well documented by local media and occurred on Sunday, Sept. 1, 2024 at a Harris Teeter store in CMPD’s Providence Division in the 6700 block of Carnegie Boulevard. 

The suspects used hijabs (head coverings) to disguise their appearances. When a store employee approached the suspects and asked for them to leave, they sprayed the worker with bear spray.

According to CMPD, as a result of the investigation, detectives identified two suspects involved and were able to link these suspects as well as three others to several organized retail crime cases. On Friday, Sept. 20, officers arrested and charged the following suspects in connection with these incidents:

                                                                                Zaniya Howard, 18

Soverria Davis, 19

Heaven Manning, 20

Amiya Beatty, 22

Shaquilla Martin, 29

Now that as far as the local media was concerned was the end of it. But not in Charloote where jail is just a small inconvenience.

Zaniya Howard was arrested again on December 2 and then again on December 16 she spent a few days in jail until a Mecklenburg County Judge lowered her bail and she was released on December 21.

Soverria Davis was arrested again on October 1 and released on December 3.

Heaven Manning hasn't been arrested since. 

Amiya Beatty was arrested again on October 15, and then on October 25 and then on November 1 and most recently December 5 and released again on December 9. She currently has more than 20 cases pending and not a single conviction.

Shaquilla Martin was also charged on a probation violation but was released on November 8 and hasn't been arrested since.

Charlotte store owners and managers should post these photos so that every employee knows who these people are and that they are dangerous.
