A call to
the Fayette County Sheriff's Department concerning a
robbery resulted in charges against the alleged robber as
well as the victim, who learned the hard way to be
careful who he invited into his home.
According
to the Fayette County Sheriff's Department, a deputies
were dispatched Dec. 16 at about 9 a.m. to 125 Meredith
Court near Tyrone. The caller, 18-year-old Tim Henderson
Jr., said that two people forced their way into his home,
held him at gunpoint, tied him up and took some
electronic items before escaping in a 2000 Mercedes
belonging to Henderson's family.
After
interviewing Henderson further, however, investigators
learned the youth had gone to Atlanta and picked up a
woman believed to be a prostitute, along with another
person, before returning to his home.
It was
later learned that the Mercedes had a global positioning
satellite (GPS) system, which would enable police to
track and locate the car. After calling the car company,
police were able to alert Atlanta Police Department as to
the vehicle's whereabouts, and it was stopped in a matter
of minutes once Mercedes personnel began tracking it.
Two people
in the car were taken into custody, and one was
subsequently released. The driver, 26-year-old Tremico
Quncell Watson of Atlanta, was charged with possession of
a firearm by a convicted felon, giving a false name, and
armed robbery.
Watson, who
has an arrest record that includes a number of theft and
weapons charges, was determined to have been at
Henderson's home with the woman on the night of the
robbery, investigators said.
As for
Henderson, he has been charged with making a false report
of a crime and possession of cocaine.
Both he and
Watson are still in the Fayette County Jail.
