A second person was sentenced today in an October 14, 2010 robbery attempt in the Reese’s Store Road area of Halifax County.

Kiamond Drew, of Scotland Neck, who was shot in the leg, received a suspended sentence that will consist of three years probation and six weekends of custody in the Halifax County Jail, visiting Superior Court Judge J.C. Cole ordered.

Drew was also ordered to spend the first six months of the sentence in an electronic monitoring program and pay the cost of court as well as his attorney fee.

He is not allowed to partake of alcohol or any controlled substances, Cole said.

Raylon Parker received 24 months supervised probation Monday, according to state Department of Corrections records.

Halifax County Assistant District Attorney Keith Werner told the court the robbery attempt was a drug deal that went bad. He said the intent was to originally buy marijuana. It changed, however, to stealing marijuana and whatever money they could get.

The Halifax County Sheriff’s Office said at the time the robbery attempt occurred shortly before 1:45 p.m. when the victims, who while sitting in a swing and chair under a carport, were approached by two armed men who demanded money.

The victim’s son was able to escape and dash inside the house and grab a gun. The victim fired at the two men and one was struck in the leg.

The men got to a getaway vehicle and fled but were met on Blue Sky Road by Deputy Charlie Jenkins, who had a description. Jenkins stopped the vehicle.

Two people inside were described as those allegedly involved in the attempt and one appeared to have a gunshot wound. The third suspect fled but was picked up later in the evening.

Drew told rrspin.com after his sentencing today he spent 12 hours in surgery. He said he wants to put the matter behind him so he can take care of his child.
