On Friday February 1 Detective J.A. Baxter of the Greenville
Police Major Crimes Unit developed information that identified Alton
Antonio Evely and Dontavius Cox as the two suspects who robbed a man as he was
walking on E. Fifth Street on the morning of January 29.
Patrol Officers from B-Platoon located and arrested Evely
without incident on Friday afternoon. Officers from the Warrant
Squad located Cox on Saturday February 2 near Myrtle Street in
Greenville. He was arrested without incident.
Both suspects are charged with 1 count each of robbery with a
dangerous weapon. They are being held under a $100,000 secured bond each.
Alton Evely has prior arrests for felony larceny, possession of
stolen goods, misdemeanor larceny, and probation violations.
Dontavius Cox has one prior arrest for disorderly conduct.
These guys were identified and captured in many ways due to the installation of our Downtown Safety Cameras. Patrol Officer Ritchie Pearce viewed the surveillance pictures and was able to provide the detectives with suspect names, which in turn led to the identification and arrest of these 2 predators.
