A tangled web...

Case # 2012- 73064:  At around 10:37 a.m. on Tuesday, November 13 Greenville Police Officers responded to a report of a daytime home invasion and robbery at 304-B White Street.  As officers arrived on scene, they noticed Marshall Scott Tyson leaving the house through the back door.  Officers were curious as to why Mr. Tyson was in a hurry to leave, so he was detained and it was later determined that he is a resident of the home.  Mr. Tyson was also found holding an amount of marijuana packaged in 6 small baggies.  

Mr. Tyson and another resident, Ms. Tasheika Boyd, told police officers they were at home minding their own business when three men, two armed with shotguns, forced their way into the house and robbed them.  

Mr. Tyson was interviewed and eventually to the police that the robbery began as a drug deal for the sale of an ounce of marijuana.  The three men had been at the residence earlier and negotiated a price for 1 ounce of marijuana.  They then left, supposedly to get the money for their purchase.  

When the three men returned, they rushed in to the house when the door opened, and robbed Mr. Tyson and Ms. Boyd.  

Mr. Marshall S. Tyson was arrested and charged with possession with intent to sell and deliver (PWISD) Marijuana, Maintaining a Dwelling, and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia.  He received a $5000 unsecured bond.  Arrest Warrants were obtained for one of the three robbers, Mr. Tevin Knight for Robbery with a Dangerous Weapon and Felony B&E.  The investigation into the identity of the other two men is still ongoing.  

Here is an excellent example of not-so-innocent victims using up community resources and  bringing danger to our community...creating a tangled web.
