A group of teenagers on a MAX train robbed some recent high school graduates from Boise who were on a road trip to Portland, police said.
Police arrested Alan Jamerson, a 17-year-old described in court papers as the ringleader in the Wednesday robbery. He was charged with four counts of second-degree robbery and appeared in court today. Three other suspects, ages 13, 15 and 16, were taken to juvenile detention on robbery charges.
The teenagers from Boise were waiting at the Overlook Park platform in North Portland and told police that 10 to 15 young men started to harass them. When the Boise teens got onto the train, they said the group followed them.
Jamerson ordered the teens to "Empty your pockets," according to a court affidavit. Several of the suspects reached into the victims' pockets, and stole backpacks and cell phones. One suggested he was armed with a gun, saying, "I'm loaded and ready to go." Police found no weapons.
Another man riding the train tried to intervene on behalf of the Boise teens and got punched.
Jamerson had a 2006 assault conviction and was on post-prison supervision at the time of Wednesday's arrest.
Yes, instead he’s out and about in the ‘hood teaching the little homies how it’s done. Sweet!
17 perps? Gee, that’s how many bullets my pistol holds!
Insanity ..........these little animals are gonna meet a sheepdog one of these days and they ain’t gonna like it.
Woof !
Anyone listen to Lars Larson today on this?
There was a caller Uhhh Hummm who said they were on Max yesterday with an assistant who packs heat legally.
How come the news did not cover that the thugs were blacks yelling racist anti white slurs while they beat the crap out of the woman and the woman who came to her rescue that got the crap beat out of her.
The 2nd womans family has started a fund raiser so she can go get a brain and body cat scan ....no ins. so she was not able to get medical care.
The 1st woman went into hiding and there seemed to be something odd about her doing so she did not even want police to contact her..maybe she had a warrant of something?
