Versailles, Kentucky, police have arrested a 19-year-old woman and detained a juvenile suspect in connection with two recent armed robberies at gas stations in Woodford County.

Robberies Occurred in Versailles and Midway

The first robbery happened on July 15 at a Speedway Gas Station in Versailles. A masked person wearing a black hoodie entered the store, demanded money, and left with cash after the clerk complied. The suspect fled with an accomplice in a dark-colored SUV, which was identified through one of the department’s FLOCK cameras.

The second robbery occurred on July 26 at a Shell Gas Station in Midway. Two masked suspects wearing black hoodies entered the store, pointed a handgun at the clerk, and forced him to remove money from the register. The suspects fled in the same dark-colored SUV used in the earlier robbery, which was confirmed through a FLOCK camera.

Based on the investigation, detectives obtained a complaint warrant charging the 19-year-old, Amanda Hornsby, with first-degree robbery and complicity to commit first-degree robbery. A juvenile pickup order was also issued for the juvenile suspect on related offenses.

Early Friday morning, detectives with the Versailles Police Department worked with Lexington Police officers to arrest Hornsby and take the juvenile suspect into custody at a home in Lexington. Police also served multiple search warrants in Lexington, resulting in the recovery of evidence.

The investigation remains ongoing as police work to determine whether the suspects are connected to other offenses in surrounding jurisdictions. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Versailles Police Department at 859-873-3126.
