Two men were charged with felony common law robbery after they took $60 from a teen who was attempting to check into a local motel. The 19-year-old said she was outside of Days Inn at Bendix Drive when two men approached her and demanded her money. She gave them $60 she had in her boot. One suspect told the teen he would “drop her” if she did not give up her money.

The two men ran toward Economy Inn and were shortly thereafter arrested by police responding to an incident at the second motel.

Police charged Enice Maurice Simpson, 34, of the 200 block of West Harrision St., and Brandon Dean Hardin, 22, of the 800 block of Park Avenue, both with felony common law robbery.
