Two Clayton

County teens accused of robbing a convenience store in east Fayette County

remain in jail after their cases were bound over Tuesday to Superior Court.

Jerome Daniel

Price, 19, and Warren Devale Balam Jr., 18, are charged with one felony

count each of armed robbery for the July 1 holdup of Jackson's General

Store on Ga. Highway 54 East at the intersection of Corinth Road.

Magistrate

James White bound the cases over to superior court because Georgia law

requires a superior court judge to consider bond for armed robbery offenses.

A third suspect,

a juvenile who police believe brandished a hunting knife and took the

money from the store, also faces one felony count of armed robbery, two

felony counts of aggravated assault and one felony count of kidnapping.

Price dropped

Balam and the juvenile near the store before the robbery and picked them

up afterward, police said. Balam entered the store after the juvenile,

wearing a Halloween mask to conceal his identity, police said.

Balam served

as a lookout, police said.

The juvenile

disguised his face with a black bandana just below his eyes, police said.

He left the store with $500 in cash, 30 lottery tickets and some cigars,

police said.

The case is

being worked by the Fayette County She riff's Department.
