A man who gave another man a ride and then allegedly robbed his passenger was arrested Tuesday.

Investigation by Detective Corey Dixon of the Roanoke Rapids Police Department led to the arrest of Devonte Kentuan Riddick, 18, of Seaboard.

Riddick faces charges of robbery, assault by pointing a gun, communicating threats and driving without a license. He was jailed on $10,000 bond and has an April 6 court date.

Captain Andy Jackson said part of Dixon’s investigation into the case involved looking at surveillance video from Presto where the victim asked Riddick for a ride.

Riddick agreed and began driving toward the south Hamilton and Clinton street areas when the victim noticed Riddick began acting suspicious.

The victim asked to be let out and when he got out of the vehicle, just after midnight Tuesday, Riddick also got out and trained a shotgun on the victim and demanded his wallet.

The victim surrendered his wallet, which contained $270, and went back to Presto to report the crime.
