NATCHEZ — A third teenager was charged Monday with one count of armed robbery in connection with two robberies that occurred Dec. 16 and 17.

The two 15-year-olds and 14-year-old are all being charged as adults.

Barney Hawkins Jr., 14, 582 Inez St., was charged with one count of armed robbery. No bond was set as of Monday afternoon.

Ladarrius D. Lowe, 15, 147 Mount Carmel Drive, and Jedarium T. Harris, 15, 12 Government Fleet Road were charged Wednesday with two counts of armed robbery.

Harris’ bond is set at $75,000 per count.

Lowe’s bond was $75,000 for one count, but no bond had been set as of Monday afternoon in the second charge.

All three remained in Natchez jail as of Monday evening.

The boys are believed to be three of five teenagers that reportedly robbed a man between 9 and 10 p.m. on North Union Street near Carpenter School Apartments Friday.

The boys also reportedly admitted to a robbery of the front desk clerk at the Grand Soleil Hotel at gunpoint at approximately 2:20 Saturday morning.

The boys reportedly jumped over the hotel counter, pointed a gun at the clerk and ordered the clerk to open the cash register and took $230 from the register. The boys also reportedly stole the clerk’s wallet containing $360.

Ford said police received a tip from the grandmother of one of the suspects that she had heard her grandson had been part of the robberies.
