♦ Capt. Hosey, LPD reports: “Final Armed Robbery Suspect Identified & Arrested.
LPD Detectives developed information earlier this week that identified Demarshay Montez Witherspoon, 21, of Charlotte, as the final suspect in the November robbery of Sonny Supplies.
Investigators coordinated with the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department, who arrested Witherspoon at his Charlotte residence Tuesday evening. Witherspoon was then transferred to LPD custody.
Witherspoon is charged with 3 counts of armed robbery, 1 count of conspiracy to commit armed robbery, and possession of a weapon of mass destruction (sawed-off shotgun).
Witherspoon is currently being held under a $250K bond at the Rowan County jail.
This arrest concludes a lengthy investigation involving multiple agencies, including the US Marshals Service, NC State Highway Patrol, Cabarrus County Sheriff’s Office, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department, and the Parker County (Texas) Sheriff’s Office. We’d like to thank all of those agencies, officers, and citizens whose contributions were invaluable in helping us identify & arrest those responsible.
– Capt. Hosey
P.S. If you’re a criminal, you may want to think twice before you come to Landis. Although we aren’t the largest agency around, you will find no jurisdiction more dedicated to finding & arresting you if you violate the sanctity of our town.”
