Two adults from Topeka and two Salina teens were arrested Sunday after an alleged robbery in west Salina.
Police were called to the 800 block of Cherokee Drive at 3:25 p.m. Sunday for the report of a robbery, Salina Police Captain Paul Forrester said this morning. A 17-year-old boy reported that he had just been robbed and that the alleged suspects had left in a red Chevrolet Impala with a 60-day tag, Forrester explained. The suspects allegedly included the following, he said.
A 15-year-old Salina boy
A 17-year-old Salina girl
Jessica Sonneberger, 38, of Topeka
Leon Smith-Love, 25, of Topeka
The teen told police that he had been at an overnight party at a residence in the 800 block of Cherokee Drive. While there, the teen took some marijuana wax that allegedly belonged to Smith-Love, Forrester said.
Later in the day, the suspects convinced the teen to come back to the Cherokee Drive residence to return the marijuana wax. The teen and a 16-year-old Salina boy returned to the residence and an argument ensued between the teen and Smith-Love, Forrester said.
Smith-Love, Sonneberger, and the 17-year-old female then allegedly began striking the teen, knocking him to the ground and taking his Nike shoes, Forrester explained. Smith-Love then allegedly pointed a handgun at the teen and then struck him on the side of the head with it, Forrester said.
Smith-Love then went out to the vehicle where the 16-year-old boy was waiting, and allegedly took a Playstation 4, a controller, and some games, Forrester said. The 17-year-old boy's fanny pack also was allegedly taken, Forrester added.
