Lufkin PD DASH/BODY CAM FOOTAGE, AGGRAVATED ROBBERY PURSUIT ARRESTS

On Saturday 8/22/2020 at 2:54 p.m., a man called 911 to report he had just been robbed at gunpoint by three black males in the parking lot on Chestnut St. at Bartmess Drive.

The victim said he was supposed to meet the suspects to buy some shoes. He said when he got in their vehicle to make the purchase, they pulled out a sawed-off shotgun and demanded he empty his pockets and remove the shoes he was wearing.

The victim got out of the gold Chevy Impala unharmed before the suspects fled the scene on Bartmess Drive. The victim said the car had paper tags.

Within just a few minutes officers spotted the suspect vehicle inbound on East Denman Avenue. When Officer Carter Willmon initiated a traffic stop, the suspects refused to pull over. They turned into the Englewood subdivision and accelerated to more than 70 mph. The pursuit, which started at 3:03 p.m., went through the Englewood subdivision into the Lufkin Land area, down Atkinson Drive and back into Lufkin Land where it ended 5 minutes later. The suspects bailed out of the vehicle after turning onto Garvan Street from Paul Avenue to avoid spike strips. The car crashed into a ditch as the suspects fled on foot. Officers ran each of them down and by 3:12 p.m., they were all in custody. The suspects were then identified as Jacorey Glenn, Akeem Hurts and Isisah Sheppard, all 17 and of Lufkin. Hurts was the driver. Tops speeds during the five-minute pursuit reached roughly 90 mph. After taking the suspects into custody, officers recovered the stolen cash, the sawed-off shotgun, a 9mm pistol, marijuana and digital scales. One of the suspects was also in possession of the keys to an Infiniti that was reported stolen in the county earlier this week. We recovered that vehicle this morning after someone reported it as being abandoned at Missionary Baptist Church on Scarborough Street. Glenn, Hurts and Sheppard are all charged with aggravated robbery and evading arrest with a vehicle. Additional charges are pending.

BELOW is a VIDEO compiled from Lufkin Police Department officer dash cam and body-worn camera footage of the pursuit and arrests of the armed robbery suspects.
