Police release video from triple arrest on I-35 after Warr Acres violent robbery
OKLAHOMA CITY (KFOR) — A trio of men from Texas are currently behind bars in the Oklahoma County Jail for a crime they allegedly committed here, leaving a bank worker with a knot on his head and hospitalized.
The newly released video from the Oklahoma City Police Department shows all three suspects, moments before they were led away in handcuffs, following an alleged robbery that same morning in Warr Acres.
Court records detail in early December, Tyrone Jones, Cortez Martin, and John Perry going to a well-known bank branch at the corner of Northwest 35th and MacArthur in Warr Acres to rob an ATM.
Police say the victim was an ATM technician who went to fix the machine after the suspects broke it.
An affidavit details the suspects telling the victim to give them money or they were going to shoot him.
When police got to the scene, an officer describes seeing fresh wounds on the left side of the victim's lip, the right side of his cheek, and a large knot on the left side of his forehead.
The victim was taken to a hospital to be treated and later released.
Oklahoma City police caught the trio in an evening traffic stop on the same day of the robbery.
"I can imagine when they saw the police cars behind them, they knew what had happened," said Assistant Chief Jason Allen from the Warr Acres Police Department.
Authorities say the getaway car was spotted across state lines in Wichita, Kansas, before making it back down I-35 into Oklahoma City limits the same day.
Warr Acres police said the men are facing felony counts of robbery and conspiracy.
Two of the suspects are each being held on a $100,000 bond and the third suspect is held on a $75,000 bond.
