Officers responded to Navigation Point Apartments and contacted the 20-year-old victim who reported he met a drug dealer at the Stripes Convenience Store on Horne Road and Old Brownsville. The victim told Officers he had been buying Marijuana from “Dominque” for about a month.

The victim told Officers he was in the process of purchasing some Hydro-Marijuana when he began to question the suspect about the quality of the Marijuana he was buying.  The suspect pulled a handgun and took the victim’s $1,200 along with the Marijuana.

The victim told Officers he ran home and smoked a large amount of Marijuana to calm down.  Once composed, the victim called police and reported the robbery.

At 12:20 am, Officers located the suspect at Angela and West Point.  The suspect fled from Officers and did not pull over until he reached his home at 957 National.  The suspect got out of the vehicle and walked away, ignoring the Officer.  Dominque Dashawn Martin (07/01/91) was arrested.  He was charged with Evading Arrest, Tampering with Evidence, Possession of Marijuana, and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia along with an outstanding Municipal Court warrant.

The vehicle was impounded, but the money was not recovered.  Martin was not charged with the robbery, however the investigation is ongoing.
