The St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office has charged Joseph Owens, 19, of University City and Kiera Montgomery, 17, of St. Louis with first degree robbery, armed criminal action (two counts each) and second degree assault in connection with a robbery near the Sunnen Metrolink station in Maplewood on November 27, according to a press release from the Maplewood Police Department on Monday.
Maplewood police said one of the suspects suspects pulled a knife on the robbery victim then punched her when she resisted. After the robbery the couple returned to the Sunnen Metrolink station. Video shows them carrying items police say belong to the victim. From there they got on a train headed into St. Louis, but not before kissing on the platform while they waited.
A $250,000 bond was set for Owens and a $100, 000 bond was set for Montgomery. Both suspects are currently in custody at the St. Louis County Justice Services Center.
Maplewood Det. Sgt. Matt Nighbor said an anonymous tip led to the identity of the suspects.
Those are false accusations Montgomery and Owens both are citizens that have been neglected by the system and i feel that the victims should understand and tell the truth instead of lying because she want to put our young minority in the justice systems because they had a hardship in their life give them a break if the only son of god could die for all of us and didn’t know any of us then we can show them kids sympathy!!!!!!
