Two masked men entered Frank’s Corner in Colbert on Friday and robbed the store of an undisclosed amount of money, according to police radio traffic.

Area law enforcement agencies responded to the call at 7:57 p.m., after a person called about the robbery. According to police radio broadcasts, the victim disclosed being robbed at gunpoint.

The two men were reported to have fled in a white Chevrolet 1500 long-bed pickup. Additional details of the robbery were not available at press time.

In other crime news, Scottie Wayne Summerville Jr., 24, Durant, has been charged with knowingly concealing stolen property.

Summerville was arrested last week following an investigation by Durant Police Lt. Brad Nelson who responded to an automobile burglary at 600 Montgomery Drive. William Morton, the victim, said he went to his vehicle that morning and noticed the glove box torn off, a stereo missing, plus a speaker box.

A maintenance worker told Nelson he found a car stereo on a stairwell, and upon retrieving it from the office, the victim identified it as his. Nelson also learned about a man who often walks through the parking lot looking through the vehicles, and after speaking with the apartment manager, Nelson was given an apartment number where the suspect was believed to be staying.

Nelson went to the apartment and talked to a woman and a man identified as Summerville, and the report stated that Nelson saw a speaker box that matched the description of the one stolen, plus other items throughout the apartment believed to have been stolen.

A warrants check revealed that Summerville had a felony warrant for his arrest, so he was arrested. The report stated that Nelson spoke with the woman and she advised that items in the living room that included tools bags, numerous belts, a watch and jewerly were not hers, and had not been there prior to her going to bed.

In other crimes, Ginger Michelle Jordan-Robinson, 45, Bennington, was charged Friday with assault and battery with a deadly weapon. According to court papers, Jordan-Robinson intentionally used her vehicle on Thursday to ram another vehicle driven by Tristen Allen.

According to an affidavit by Sheriff’s Sgt. Jason Bannowsky, the incident happened in the 1500 block of W. Woodcraft in Bennington, and Jordan-Robinson intetionally drove into the side of the other vehicle.

Jordan-Robinson denied the allegations and said she could not see the other vehicle, but Trooper James Reinecker had been told by the victim’s family that she was lying, and that she rammed it because she thought someone else was driving it. She told Bannowsky she could not see because of tall grass, however, the other vehicle was on a hill, and the weeds were not as tall as the vehicle she was driving.

Jordan-Robinson was booked into jail, and she was also charged with misdemeanor possession of marijuana.
