Security guard robbed, pepper sprayed www.privateofficer.com
HIGH POINT, N.C.July 21 2010 – A 75-year-old trucking company security guard was sprayed with pepper spray and robbed by a man and woman after he didn’t lend them money Wednesday morning, police said.
Jeptha Brown Leach, a guard at Carolina Southern Inc. at 517 Townsend Ave., told police an acquaintance stopped by and asked to borrow money around 10:30 a.m. He told the acquaintance he didn’t have any, and as he turned his back, the man spun him around and sprayed him with pepper spray.
The suspect took his wallet and drove off in a silver PT Cruiser. Leach was uninjured.
The car was spotted shortly thereafter a few blocks away, and a State Highway Patrol trooper arrested Marvin Lee Nelson and Carolyn Dawn Hunt, both of High Point.
High Point police charged Nelson, 49, with robbery with a dangerous weapon and jailed him under a $10,000 bond. Hunt, 31, was charged with conspiracy to commit armed robbery. She was jailed under a $2,500 bond.

The victim, who turns 81 next week, works as a security guard for the Sherwood Lake apartment complex and was locking the back gate near Old Lincoln Highway about 10:30 p.m. Tuesday when he was robbed, an affidavit states.

Orlando police said the security guard was patroling the complex when his attackers roughed him up then stole his gun and his taser.
The security officer managed to get away and ran to an apartment for help. The suspects tried to shoot the guard with the taser, but missed and drove off, sideswiping the security officer’s car.
Residents said the security gate to the complex has been broken for weeks, and it is too expensive to fix. One tenant said she isn’t surprised the robbery happened.
“Someone got robbed last Wednesday with a gun. Two months ago a pregnant lady got robbed with a gun,” said resident Mabel Lopez.
Police said the security guard has non-life threatening injuries and unfortunately he did not get a good look at the get away car.
Police did not release the name of the injured security officer or the name of his employer.
