Police expect no more arrests in an alleged armed robbery among teenagers last week in Austin.
A 17-year-old and 18-year-old were arrested for allegedly robbing other teenagers for a pound of marijuana. According to the court complaint, a woman involved in the case gave the marijuana back to the victim. According to Austin Police Chief Brian Krueger, Austin police did not recover any marijuana after the incident. Police, however, are still working on the case.
The 18-year-old, Willister Davenport Jr., of Austin, has been charged with first-degree aggravated robbery in Mower County Court. The court complaint adds police found a weapon — a .22 caliber pistol — after a person in the case showed them where it was tossed in the Cedar River.
