Justin Cortez Brown, black male, 20 years of age, of Mercury Drive was arrested and charged with Two Counts of First Degree Kidnapping and First Degree Robbery with bonds being established later today.
On December 29, 2011 the Dothan Police Department responded to a robbery and kidnapping that began at an apartment in the 1300 block of Alexander Drive. At approximately 8:15 p.m. a black male forced entry into an apartment occupied by a male and female. The suspect was armed with a handgun and was demanding money. The suspect received a small amount of cash at the residence but made further demands forcing both victims into a vehicle at gunpoint stating they were going to get more cash from an ATM. The robbery in progress then went mobile when the suspect, still armed with the gun forced the victim to drive to Winn-Dixie (Eastside location). The suspect held the male victim at gunpoint in the car and instructed the female victim to quickly retrieve cash and return to the vehicle. Once inside the store, the female victim advised employees of her situation begging them to call police. Simultaneously, the suspect became suspicious when the female victim did not immediately return and forced the male victim he was holding to drive to the area of East Selma Street where he jumped from the vehicle and fled on foot. The male victim quickly returned to Winn-Dixie where police were already on scene conducting an investigation. Patrolmen and investigators worked quickly and diligently working with the victims and witnesses to identify and locate the suspect. Investigators stated Justin Cortez Brown has been arrested on multiple charges bringing this case to a swift conclusion.
