Police responded to Burd Street Sunday, Feb. 10 just after 2 a.m. on the report of a stolen iPhone 6 and the possibility of an ongoing physical altercation.
Police arrived, interviewed the victim and canvassed the area. After the investigation, the two suspects were identified as 30-year-old Llauren Williams of South Franklin Street in Nyack and 32-year-old Raheam Dobbins of E. Centre, Alabama.
Dobbins and the victim were allegedly involved in an altercation after Dobbins stole the victim’s cell phone while both parties were patronizing a Main Street business, according to police.
During the altercation, Dobbins allegedly showed a razor knife and entered Williams’ vehicle. While Dobbins remained engaged with the victim, Williams operated the vehicle and knowingly dragged the victim in the roadway, police said.
