Three Paducah residents were taken into custody Wednesday in connection with an armed robbery that occurred Monday in Livingston County.
Deryant L. Williams, 22; Travon D. Jones, 18; and Talor M. English, 19, have been charged by Kentucky State Police with first-degree robbery and second-degree assault, both Class B felonies, and first-degree wanton endangerment, a Class D felony. Charges are forthcoming on a fourth suspect.
The arrests stem from an investigation, of a home invasion that occurred just after 11 p.m. Monday in Ledbetter. State police received a call that a door had been kicked in and four people entered demanding items. A struggle ensued with the residents, causing injuries to two of the residents.
According to state police, it is believed that drugs were the motive behind the armed robbery.
The investigation is continuing by Trooper Jonathan Ward with assistance from McCracken County Sheriff’s Department.
