The Douglas County Sentinel (requires registration) is reporting today that the robbers/carjackers that were apprehended on Highway 5 after crashing Atlanta Hawks Shelden Williams 2008 Chrysler Aspen, were denied bond regarding “four separate incidents.” Bernard Moss is charged with “our counts of armed robbery, four counts of possession of a firearm, three counts of terroristic threats, kidnapping and theft by receiving a motor vehicle.” His accomplice, Darius Mathis, has charges of “four counts of armed robbery, four counts of possession of a firearm and one count of theft by receiving a motor vehicle.”

What’s the old saying, “Old news is better than no news.” Two days after some robberies and a car chase down Highway 5, the Douglas County Sentinel reports this morning about details of the incident. The suspects were spotted on Douglas Boulevard after leaving Arbor Place Mall where they robbed two people. Douglasville Police were in pursuit heading south on Highway 5 where the suspects sidewiped a few vehicles before crashing into a tree just south of the Central Church Road intersection.

The weapon used in the crimes was a “snub-nose .38 revolver.” The paper reported that the car was not totaled, according to Police Chief Joe Whisenant. However yesterday WMAZ quotes Whisenant as saying the “vehicle suffered substantial damage.”

News out of WMAZ - Macon says that the two suspects that were responsible for carjacking Atlanta Hawks Shelden Williams and then robbing two people at Arbor Place Mall on Saturday, are locked up in the Douglas County jail awaiting charges to come down from Fulton County on carjacking. The suspects apprehended were “Bernard Moss and Darius Mathis, both 18 and from Atlanta.”

Fleeing in Williams’ 2008 Chrysler Aspen down Highway 5, the suspects grazed numerous vehicles before colliding into a tree. It was then that both young men tried to flee on foot, however drug dogs chased them down with one suspect was treated for a dog bite. However the SUV was totaled.

Oddly enough, the two suspects who were caught are the very ones that had robbed Arbor Place Mall later in the day.
