Something must have been in the water in Woodstock on Thursday, January 21st. Two robberies occurred both resulting in assaults and in both cases the criminals seemed to try their best to get caught. One of these situations occurred at approximately 12:15 p.m. off of Old Lodge Road.

According to authorities, two black males approached Hispanic-American Gabriel Montana at his residence. The men were enquiring about how to score drugs. Montana told the men that he was not sure where they could get what they were looking for. Upon hearing this, according to the victim's story the men began beating him with pistols. Eventually they fled the scene. One left in the vehicle he arrived in while the other fled in the Montana's Cadillac. Three hours later Jefferson County stopped Louis Williams from the description of the vehicle. Williams was arrested inside of the stolen Cadillac and two bloody pistols were found in the passenger's seat. Williams has been charged with 1st Degree Robbery and 2nd Degree Assault. He is currently being held on an $80,000 bond.

The other suspect was described to be a tall and slender black male. According to Montana this man told him his name was "Javaris."
