Erie, PA - Two local residents accused of participating in a reported robbery attempt and pistol-whipping in January have waived lesser charges. Roquann D. Price, 18, is facing reduced charges after waiving the first-degree felony count of robbery on June 29.
According to court documents, witnesses claimed that Price entered a residence at 900 East Eighth Street and demanded guns before allegedly pistol-whipping a juvenile. A gunshot was reportedly fired during the incident. Under an agreement with prosecutors, Price will plead guilty to a reduced charge at a later date and face sentencing recommendations of 11½ to 23 months in prison followed by five years of probation.
The charges against Price were part of a broader investigation into a reported robbery attempt involving multiple individuals. The exact details of the incident are not specified in court documents or reports from local law enforcement.
No further information is available on the status of other suspects involved in the alleged robbery attempt, as sources do not provide additional details about their involvement or charges.
The case is ongoing, with Price's plea agreement expected to be finalized at a later date.
