Travis J. Johnson, 28, and Porcha N. Johnson, 26, who are brother and sister, were arrested Friday and charged with armed robbery.

The three are accused of entering a man’s house without permission while he went to retrieve a cigarette.

Davis allegedly pointed a gun at the resident and told him to lie on the kitchen floor, White said.

The victim told police the three stole $600 in cash and a watch valued at approximately $100. He identified all three people by name.

The man reported the incident to the police on June 10. He told police he waited to report the crime because he was afraid for his life.
