Roanoke Rapids police are interviewing one Motel 6 robbery suspect this morning while another remains at large.

The robbery occurred shortly before 3:15 this morning when a man later identified as Ramondae Parker and an as yet identified man rushed into the lobby, allegedly armed with CO2 pistols, and demanded money.

The motel clerk complied, Roanoke Rapids police said this morning, and the men left.

Sergeant Mike Moseley was in the area and spotted a suspicious car on Wheeler Street, which is in the area. When Moseley tried to initiate a stop the driver sped off and a chase ensued.

The vehicle chase ended at Second and Chockoyotte streets where Parker and the other man bailed from the vehicle and ran.

Officer Gorton Williams assisted Moseley in a foot chase and apprehended Parker, 19, of Wheeler Street.

The other person got away.

Two CO2 pistols were recovered from the vehicle.

Police continue to interview Parker, who is expected to be charged with armed robbery and traffic violations.

Anyone with additional information is encouraged to call Crimestoppers at 252-583-4444.
