Two men charged with robbing Apollo Liquor the day before Thanksgiving pleaded not guilty Thursday to robbery charges.

David Ansell Dorenzo, 21, and Leonard Lamar Booth, 24, both pleaded not guilty to one count of aggravated robbery and one count of simple robbery, both felonies. Two other men allegedly with Dorenzo and Booth have not been charged.

Officers responded to a report of a robbery at Apollo Liquor, 903 W. Oakland Ave., around 9:30 a.m. on Nov. 25, according to a police report. Two store clerks told an officer four black males fled the store without paying for four bottles of cognac valued at about $204, according to the report.

The report stated the clerk at the register thought the men might steal something, and the second clerk in the back said he saw on the cameras three of the men stuffing bottles of liquor in their sweatshirts, and he went and stood in front of the door. Then one of the men pushed him out of the way and he fell back against a counter. The suspects then fled east on First Avenue Southwest in a Buick LeSabre.

An officer located the suspects’ vehicle and two men fled the car. A second officer saw two of the suspects running north on Fourth Street Southwest between houses along the street.

The officer apprehended Dorenzo, and the first officer along with a third officer apprehended Booth, who was in the back seat of the car.

An officer found a large, unopened bottle of Hennessy cognac in the Buick, and a witness gave an officer a Remy Martin Champagne Cognac box with an unopened bottle of liquor, which he found in his yard between his house and garage. Officers also found a bottle of Remy Martin 1738 in the front seat of the Buick.

Banfield Elementary School was on a soft lockdown for a time during the incident.

Dorenzo and Booth are scheduled for court Jan. 14, 2016.
