Robbery investigation leads to two arrests

A robbery investigation on Younglove Street Monday night led to two arrests on gun-related charges.

Officers responded to a home in the 900 block of Younglove about 9 p.m. for reports that suspects had forced their way inside a home and demanded money.

Police located a vehicle matching the description given by witnesses in the area of East 1st and Campbell Street and it was driven by 22-year old Shartavious Burse of Hopkinsville.

The police report says a computer check showed Shartavious had a suspended license and passenger, 24-year old Davontra Burse of Hopkinsville, is a convicted felon.

Two guns were allegedly tossed out of the vehicle and discovered in a nearby yard and both suspects were charged with tampering with evidence. Davontra is also charged with possession of a handgun by a convicted felon and Shartavious with driving with a suspended license.

They have not been charged in connection with the robbery at this time.
