Laurel Teens Arrested in Alleged Knifepoint Robbery; Stun Gun Also Possibly Used on Victim

Police have arrested two people and are looking for two more following a robbery in the Anne Arundel County portion of Laurel – a robbery in which the suspects are thought to have used both a knife and an electronic device akin to a stun gun.

The two arrested were Daivon Xavier Nixon, 16, of 7 Oak Run Road in Laurel, and Derek Zaron Wilson, 16, of 8116 Shannon's Alley in Laurel, according to the Anne Arundel Police Department.

Both have been charged with two counts of armed robbery, two counts of first-degree assault and two counts of second-degree assault, according to court records. They are being charged as adults.

Police were called at about 11 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 15, to the area of Marcey Creek Road and Russett Green in Laurel for reports of two people who had been robbed.

The victims, an 18-year-old and a 20-year-old, told police their vehicle had mechanical problems and that they were looking at the engine when four people ran up to them from nearby bushes.

Two of the suspects were wearing masks, the victims told police, and one of those masked men had a knife and "demanded property," police said. The victims did what they were told, but one of them was punched and knocked down, police said.

One of the victims also told police that a masked suspect had used a device similar to a stun gun on his back.

Officers searched the surrounding area and found two people who matched descriptions the victims had provided. Those suspects were arrested after the victims positively identified them as having been in the group that attacked them, police said.

Police are still looking for the other two suspects. Both were described as men who were wearing dark clothing, with one described as wearing a mask.

Anyone with further information is asked to call 410-222-6155 or 410-222-8610.
