Five Florida men are facing felony robbery charges after police allege they held up a man walking home from work and stole a vape pen worth about $30.

Incident Details

The robbery happened around 9:36 p.m. Sunday in Winter Haven, according to the Winter Haven Police Department. Investigators said the victim was walking home after his shift when a pickup truck pulled up beside him and five men jumped out, demanding everything in his pockets.

The victim told the group he only had a cellphone and a vape pen, police said. One of the suspects allegedly lifted his shirt to reveal a semi-automatic rifle tucked into his waistband and demanded the items.

Police said the men searched the victim’s pockets and took the vape pen. They then demanded his cellphone, but the victim refused to hand it over and told them it had a tracker on it.

The suspects then got back into the truck and drove away. Officers later located the pickup outside a residence, where they spotted several men matching the suspects’ descriptions, according to police.

When the men saw officers, they ran into the residence and initially refused to come out, police said. Authorities eventually detained the suspects after they exited the home.

Arrests and Charges

Authorities arrested Damarius Jamel Taylor, 18, of Avon Park; Tayshawn Williams, 18, of Auburndale; Javon Prince Jackson-Roby, 19, of Avon Park; Martice Spears Jr., 19; and Deshawn Antwon Lampkin, 19. All five men were charged with robbery with a weapon and petit theft, police said.
