Police interviewed Spivey on April 27 and he told investigators Randle-Virgil was the one who threw the victim to the ground and robbed him. He said all he did was hold the victim’s shoulders down while Randle-Virgil went through his pockets.

Randle-Virgil was interviewed by officers on May 2, and he said it was Spivey’s idea to rob the victim.

Both men are currently out of custody, and warrants have been issued for their arrest.
