Authorities nab two for robbery suspect
Two Meridian people have been arrested and charged in connection with recent armed robbery incidents.
Kenneth B. Fleming, 17, and Titanna Tinsley, 22, have been charged with armed robbery and aggravated assault offenses in the incidents.
Fleming is charged with a Friday night incident in which he allegedly robbed a man while the victim sat in his vehicle in the 1300 block of 24th Street shortly before midnight. Fleming is said to have taken an undetermined amount of cash from the victim.
Meridian Police Department Capt. James Sharpe, commander of the MPD's Investigative Division, said when the victim tried to flee in his car, Fleming fired several shots from a handgun. The victim was not hit and made good his escape.
"After officers located the victim and obtained description of the suspect, a man fitting the victim's description was chased and captured by officers of the Patrol Division," said Sharpe. "This person turned out to be Fleming."
While still in custody detectives received and developed information that led to Fleming being charged with four additional counts of armed robbery stemming from an incident reported in the early morning hours Friday. - More Local Scores Headlines
