Four Charged in Armed Robberies

Four suspects have been arrested in connection with the robberies outlined in the previous post below. The arrests were made following an attempted robbery Tuesday night at the BP Family Fare store at 2120 New Bern Ave. The attempted robbery occurred just before 11 p.m. when two male suspects wearing masks entered the business but aborted the robbery when a store employee managed to flee.

Patrol officers and detectives responded to the BP Family Fare scene, and follow-up investigation led to the arrest of two suspects:

• Antonio Rashad Dovine (DOB 2/3/90); and, 
• Erika Ciara McClarin (DOB 1/25/88).

Dovine has been charged with:

• Five counts of armed robbery (for the cases in the table below – the McDonald's and Fiddle Stix cases were consolidated into a single charge); 
• One count of attempted armed robbery (for the BP Family Fare case above);
• Six counts of conspiracy to commit armed robbery (for the cases below and the one above); and,
• One count of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.

McClarin has been charged with:

• Three counts of armed robbery (for the three hotel/motel cases in the table below); and, 
• Three counts of conspiracy to commit armed robbery (for the same three crimes).

As detectives conducted follow-up investigative work, two additional suspects were taken into custody and charged yesterday:

• Tyquon Devoeta Meggett (DOB 10/18/92); and, 
• Jessie James Vickers, IV (DOB 11/17/91).

Meggett has been charged with the following counts (in connection with the Exxon case in the table below):

• One count of armed robbery; 
• One count of conspiracy to commit armed robbery; and
• One count of second degree kidnapping.

Vickers has been charged with:

• Three counts of armed robbery (for the three hotel/motel cases in the table below); and, 
• Three counts of conspiracy to commit armed robbery (for the same three crimes).
