An alert neighbor thwarted the robbery attempt Monday night when they spotted three men with guns outside their neighbor’s house on Tanager Lane in Hollister.
The neighbor yelled and the men went into the woods.
Deputy Jason Keeter was responding to the call when he noticed a car speeding from the area.
When Keeter stopped the vehicle two of the passengers got out and ran. He detained Melvin Jones III of Gillburg.
During investigation by Sergeant Paul Ward and Detective Tyree Davis, the investigators determined Jones and the other men were allegedly going to rob the homeowner.
Keeter charged Jones with attempted first degree burglary, attempted robbery with a dangerous weapon, conspiracy to commit robbery, possession of a weapon of mass destruction, carrying a concealed weapon and possession of marijuana. He was jailed on $100,000 bond and has a November 3 court date.
