Police in Savannah say they’ve charged two men and a teenager in the robbery and carjacking of a pizza delivery person after a vehicle pursuit and two foot chases.
Marquel Williams, 19, Marion Savar Langler, 17, and a 16-year-old male were arrested after foot pursuits down an unpaved trail, through a water-filled ditch and the neighborhood behind Oglethorpe Charter School in unincorporated Chatham County, said Julian Miller, Savannah-Chatham police spokesman.
Southside Precinct patrol officers had responded to the robbery in an apartment complex on the 11900 block of White Bluff Road at 7:10 p.m. They were advised that three males had robbed the 28-year-old deliverer of cash and his silver 2005 Mini Cooper convertible, Miller said.
A responding West Chatham Precinct lieutenant located the car on Truman Parkway and turned around to pursue it. The convertible turned off the parkway, eventually driving down a dirt access road that became a grassy area beside a drainage ditch between Central Avenue and Albert Street.
The three occupants left the car after it ran over a smaller ditch and began to run until the lieutenant apprehended the front seat passenger, Williams. A second officer pursued the other two through the drainage ditch to apprehend both in a yard almost two blocks away. A loaded weapon was located under the juvenile, Miller said.
All three have been charged with aggravated assault.
Detectives are continuing to investigate the robbery and events following it
