Out-of-gas robbery suspects nabbed in water park
Two robbery suspects were found hiding in a Spokane Valley water park today after police say their getaway truck ran out of gas.
The suspects, 25-year-old Joseph W. Boyce, aka Joseph Davis, and Jumah A. Robinson, 32, are accused of robbing a 29-year-old Spokane woman at gunpoint in the parking lot of the Albertson’s Grocery at Trent and Argonne this morning.
The woman thought she was to give the men, who police say she met “a short time ago,” a ride, but the men stole her purse and backpack instead before they left in a white Chevy truck, police said.
The woman, who wasn’t injured, gave police the truck’s license plate, and they found the vehicle parked along eastbound Interstate 90 near Splash Down Water Park.
Deputies, Washington State Patrol troopers and officers from Spokane Valley and Liberty Lake surrounded the park about 7:30 a.m., and a K-9 tracked one suspect under a deck. The second suspect was found hiding in a slide tube, police said.
Boyce and Robinson were booked into jail on one count of first-degree robbery. Police were preparing to search the truck this morning.

And now the rest of the story…you know, the one we never hear. The woman knew the assailants but would not disclose how, or why this (crime) took place in the Albertsons parking lot at 6AM. This was a drug purchase gone awry. She delivers, they steal by gunpoint. Let’s ask a few more questions SR…otherwise it’s not news reporting, it’s just mindless fodder.

OK ihiker…my mistake. The woman was to pick up the fine young men to take them to buy meth (likely). Their 6AM is like 9pm to you and I.

I agree with Barb that something just isn’t adding up here.
A woman alone just isn’t going to give two men and perfect strangers a ride anywhere, not in today’s world.
There’s more to this than is being claimed by her.
Come on Spokesman do better here wont ya, how about a background check of her may reveal a criminal history of prostitution or drugs involvement etc.
Her story just doesn’t add up.
