Kenner- A Franklinton man, who claims he has been living in the 1600 block of Newport Place, Kenner, since Saturday, has been arrested and charged with armed robbery (2-counts) after he robbed the same store twice. At approximately 2:42 a.m. (Wednesday, January 20, 2010), the Kenner Police Department responded to an armed robbery at the Shell Station, located at 3206 Williams Boulevard, in Kenner, after learning a male suspect entered the store, produced a handgun, and demanded money. Upon the male suspect fleeing the store, Kenner Police Officer Nicholas Engler saw the suspect, identified as Raymond Joseph Davis, 18; get into a vehicle which he stopped at 33rd Street and Williams Boulevard. At the time of the stop, Davis was in possession of a handgun and the money taken from the robbery.
Davis was interviewed by Detective Brian McGregor and Officer David Schulter concerning a similar armed robbery that occurred at the same location, on Sunday, January 17, 2010, at 0512 hours, in which a male suspect entered the store, produced a handgun, and demanded money. After obtaining the money, the male suspect fled eastbound on 32nd Street on foot.
