Jhavon T. Parker
An Oak Ridge man allegedly robbed three people in a hotel parking lot on Monday and was arrested a short time later, authorities said.
The alleged robbery occurred at the Holiday Inn Express at about 11:49 p.m. Monday, according to the Oak Ridge Police Department.
The three victims told officers that a male had robbed them at gunpoint and fled on foot, a City of Oak Ridge press release said. More officers responded, inspected the area, and conducted interviews.
The press release said Jhavon T. Parker, 19, of Oak Ridge, was arrested a short time later and taken to the Anderson County Detention Facility in Clinton, where he was charged with three counts of aggravated robbery.
“At the time of the arrest, officers recovered a BB gun from Mr. Parker, who was reported to be in the company of a juvenile when he conducted the robberies,” the press release said.
Parker remained jailed on Tuesday morning.
More information will be added as it becomes available.
