The three men charged in connection to last summer’s armed robbery of the Verizon Wireless store in Mt. Carmel are still awaiting court hearings in federal court in Benton.
19-year-old Jaylen Davis and 19-year-old Latrell Coe have both changed their pleas to guilty to the federal charges. Coe is scheduled to be sentenced on May 26th while Davis’s sentencing date is June 17th. Under federal sentencing guidelines, Davis is expected to be sentenced between 10 and 12 years in prison.
The third defendant, 25-year-old Anthony Suber, was supposed to be in court this past Monday for a change of plea hearing, but that was delayed until next Wednesday. The hearing will be held via video due to COVID-19 guidelines.
All three men are from the Indianapolis when they came to Mt. Carmel last July and allegedly stole just under $26,000 worth of merchandise from the Verizon Wireless store at 9th and Cherry Streets. The three were originally charged in Wabash County Circuit Court, but those charges were put on hold after the federal charges were filed. A status hearing on the local charges is set for July 20th.
