Donkevius Euquon Martin
Two armed robbery suspects, wanted in South Carolina, were arrested in Whitfield County.
A Whitfield County Deputy received information on Tuesday that an inmate in the Whitfield County Jail had been involved in a robbery in South Carolina. Upon further investigation, it was confirmed that authorities in Anderson County, S.C., were in the process of taking charges on four suspects involved in a February armed robbery of a 7-eleven store where the store clerk was shot with a shotgun by one of the suspects.
Donkevius Euquon Martin, 19, of South Carolina, had been identified as one of the suspects. Martin had been arrested a couple of days earlier by the city police for misdemeanor marijuana.
Investigators also determined a woman had traveled from South Carolina to Dalton with Martin, and she was staying with relatives on Goodwill Drive. The South Carolina investigation also revealed this woman was involved in the robbery. On Wednesday, deputies traveled to Goodwill Drive and took her into custody without incident. She was identified as Amanda Rose Harrison, 17, of Pelzer, S.C.
Both are being held in the Whitfield County Jail on fugitive from justice charges. Both are wanted for armed robbery and attempted murder in Anderson County. They will be held until extradited back to the state of South Carolina.
