Charges Dropped Against One Of Two Suspects In Century Armed Home Invasion

December 27, 2018

Charges have dropped against  one of two suspects in a January home invasion robbery in Century.

Kendrick Jamar Washington, was previously charged with first degree felony home invasion and aggravated assault. Assistant State Attorney Greg Marcille said there was insufficient evidence to prosecute the case against Washington. He said the victim had previously misidentified the suspect.

Gregory Lavone Williams, 52, is awaiting trial for first degree felony home invasion with a firearm and misdemeanor criminal mischief with property damage in connection with the incident.

Someone knocked on the female victim’s door about 4 a.m. while dressed in a dark colored hoodie and camouflage pants. As she was closing the door, he pulled the door back and shoved the female backward, according to an arrest report, with two men entering the home. A male then allegedly pulled a gun and pointed it the victim’s face while demanding money. The suspect allegedly took the cash and headed it to Williams before both men ran out the front door.

The victim told deputies she had about $1,500 in her purse because she worked as a cocktail waitress at Wind Creek Casino in Atmore and she had cashed her check there but not yet deposited it into the bank.

    REGARDING:
    “How can you misidentify a suspect?”

    One way is you identify the one on the left when the one on tHe left is a similar looking police officer.

    Another way is to accuse someone who was in a large crowd in church an hour’s drive away at the time. Eye witnesses sometimes err.
