Kettering teen faces arraignment in Miamisburg Shell armed robbery

Kenyon Brown, of Kettering, is charged with aggravated robbery and kidnapping, both with a three-year firearm specification; conspiracy to commit robbery, all felonies, and a misdemeanor charge of obstructing official business in the May 2 incident.

Police say he and two other people entered the store, 1160 E. Central Ave., and stole cash, JUUL pods, cigarettes and lighters. One of the robbers had a gun and reportedly pointed it at a clerk.

Brown and three other juveniles were spotted in hoodies behind the business May 4 around 12:45 a.m., and the clerk called police believing the store was about to be robbed.

“Once detained and identified, all three subjects along with a female found to be with them were interviewed. It was then confirmed that at least two of these subjects were involved in the previous robbery,” police said in a prepared statement.

Brown has been in Montgomery County Jail since his arrest.
