Three arrested after Chapel Hill chase
Three men accused in an armed robbery were arrested Monday after leading police on a chase through Chapel Hill.
Police said just after 10 a.m. in the Sunset Drive area an armed robber took the victim's cash and then got into a blue Chevrolet sedan occupied by two men.
Officers spotted the vehicle on McDade Street and attempted to stop it, but the driver failed to yield. The pursuit ended on Whitfield Road and three men were taken into custody.
Demerrick Leton Brinkley, 23, and Climmon Artoway Jefferson III, 21, both of 66 Flanders Filters Road, Washington, and Darrick Benard Long, 37, of 104 Drayton Court, Carrboro, are charged with robbery with a dangerous weapon.
i was one of the individuals arrested and the victim never accused me of robbing him..adding insult to injury i begged and pleaded with the driver to get out of the car and the fool would not stop or even slow down to do so...this is a horrible miscarriage of justice...the charges against me were dropped and i was immediately let out of jail nearly four weeks after the arrest but that doesn't make up for the fact that all one has to do is google my name and see this mess all over the internet..i am livid. not in this instance or ever in any instance have i even considered armed robbery as a means of making money..it would be totally out of character for me not to mention just plain stupid..i'd like to be interviewed by which ever news organization would like to listen at how i was treated in this mess..please contact me.
