Suspects who crashed into a house when fleeing charged with attempted armed robbery

Authorities have rounded up three teenagers and a 20-year-old accused of attempted armed robbery after fleeing in a vehicle that crashed into a residence Saturday night.

D’Andre Montel Williams, 20, Joshua Kentavious Brown, 18, and Ernest Lee Mace Jr., 17, all of Warner Robins, and a 16-year-old male were each charged with attempted armed robbery, a felony, police said. State law protects the identity of minors charged in a crime.

Williams, Brown, Mace, and the 16-year-old allegedly tried to rob a man of cash with .38 caliber revolver at 103 Ignico Drive. That comes from arrest warrants for Williams, Brown and Mace and confirmation from Warner Robins police spokesman Jennifer Parson that the minor was charged in the same incident.

At 10:47 p.m., officers working on a crime suppression team saw two males running from the west side of the Stop & Go at 103 Ignico Drive toward Savannah Apartments, according a Warner Robins police news release.

They continued to evade the officers, got into a vehicle and crashed at the intersection of Grenada Terrace and Briarcliff Road, the release said. They then fled on foot.

Williams, the driver, was also charged with fleeing and attempting to elude police and first-degree criminal damage to property, both felonies, for crashing into a residence at 214 Grenada Terrace, according to an arrest warrant.

He was also charged with misdemeanor reckless driving and failure to report an accident, according to Houston County jail records. He was speeding, the warrant said.

Warner Robins police detectives suspect that the four are connected to a series of other crimes and additional charges are expected, the release said.

Williams, who was jailed Sunday morning; Mace, who was jailed Sunday night; and Brown, who was jailed Monday night; were all being held Tuesday without bond, Houston County jail records show.
