Hopkinsville police have charged a man with two counts of robbery in connection with a pair of incidents involving the sale of used merchandise in recent days.
In the most recent incident on Tuesday evening on West 16th Street, police say 19-year old Darrin Bussell of Hopkinsville snatched $225 out of a victim’s hand and then tossed an iPhone box containing a broken Android phone into a vehicle, striking the victim on the head and neck area.
About a week prior, Bussell allegedly forcibly took a Playstation 5 from a victim’s hands and then listed it on the same fake Facebook account the phone had been listed on, according to the report.
Bussell is charged with two counts of second-degree robbery.
