                At 10:21 am, on April 13, 2018 Officers responded to Check Into Cash, 2244 N Roan St on a reported armed robbery. Employees stated a black male entered the business and demanded money. The suspect had his hand in his pocket and stated he had a gun. The suspect was able to flee the store with an amount of money. Video surveillance footage of the business and nearby businesses were viewed and a suspect vehicle was quickly determined. At approximately 4:30 pm, officers located the suspect vehicle parked behind a trailer at 233 Woodlyn Rd where suspects, Bradley and Hale were taken into custody. Hale was the owner of the vehicle and determined to be the driver at the time of the robbery. Bradley was determined to be a passenger in the vehicle at the time of the robbery. Hale stated to officers that they dropped the male suspect off at the Uhaul on N Roan St. Officers were able to determine that the male suspect, then identified as Rollins rented a Uhaul to move from an address on Unaka Ave to 907 Antioch Rd, # 37.  The rented UHaul truck and Rollins was then located at his new residence where he was taken into custody.

                All three suspects were transported to the Johnson City Police Department to be interviewed and were subsequently charged with Aggravated Robbery. The suspects will be transported to the Washington County Detention Center where they will be held in lieu of an unknown bond amount at this time, awaiting arraignment on April 16, 2018 in the Washington County General Sessions Court.
