On February 19, 2016 Deputies were called to a residence in the 3400 block of Old Marion Rd. for an armed robbery that had just occurred. Four adults and four children were in the residence at the time. Deputies were told that a person entered the residence brandishing a pistol wearing a mask. A second person was seen outside the residence. Deputies were told that the person took a purse containing $1,000 and a debit card along with two cell phones. The cell phones and the debit card were located later that day in a field not far from the residence. The investigation led to 23 year old Jacob D. Smith of Golconda, 23 year old Melissa R. Dublin of Brookport and 27 year old Melvin Davis, Jr. of Brookport. All three were charged with Aggravated Robbery and Home Invasion. They were jailed at the Massac County Detention Center pending bond. The investigation is still ongoing and further charges are expected.
