A man and two juveniles were accused of robbing someone at gunpoint on Thursday in the 500 block of Leroy Street in Boonville.
Trenton Schoen, 18, was charged on Friday with first-degree robbery, armed criminal action and illegally having a weapon. He is being held at the Cooper County Jail on a $200,000 bond. A court date has not been scheduled.
The probable cause statement says that the victim was invited over to another teenager’s home on Leroy Street after they sent a Snapchat message showing they made $400 from his paycheck. Once he arrived to the house, Schoen and two juveniles allegedly pulled out gun and told him to empty his pockets, which included taking the money, a vape and his cellphone, the statement says.
The three eventually gave back the phone and vape, but kept the money, the statement says. The victim left the house after the three threatened to kill him, court documents say. All three people were detained during a traffic stop and police found loaded guns in the vehicle, the statement says. One of the juveniles allegedly admitted to having guns used in the robbery in his bedroom, the statement says.
Schoen allegedly denied pointing a gun at the victim or taking his money, the statement says.
