3 armed men in pickup rob teen

The stickup of a juvenile walking on a rural Neshoba County road by three armed men in a pickup is under investigation.

Sheriff Eric Clark said they received a call that someone had been robbed on Road 1535 about 3:30 p.m. on Monday. 

The victim, a teenager, was accosted by three men in a blue Chevrolet extended cab pickup truck, Clark said.

The passenger rolled down the window and demanded money while brandishing a firearm, he said.

The teenager threw a $20 bill in the window and ran as the pickup sped off, the sheriff said.

“We had officers in the area quickly and stayed there for most of the afternoon,” Clark said. “We could not a find a vehicle that fit the description but we are looking.”

The incident happened above Burnside off Road 573 or what is known as Dunn Road.

Clark said investigators have limited descriptions of the suspects as the window was only rolled down partway.

He said that the occupants of the vehicle have been described as three black males.

The driver was said to be thin and had dreadlocks and both passengers, including the one who accosted the victim, were of medium build.
