The Lee County Sheriff's Office made arrests for an armed robbery in Lehigh Acres on Tuesday. Neighbors watched as Lee County deputies blocked off Ichabod Avenue Tuesday evening. "It's kind of concerning because basically all my family members live right here," said Woody Joseph. Neighbors like Woody Joseph watched dozens of deputies flood the street as a helicopter circled overhead. "There was some yellow tape blocking the entrance, and that's where most of the deputies were," said Joseph. Lee County deputies arrested Jarell Pray and Ivan Prudent. According to the arrest reports, the victim was invited to hang out at the Ichabod Ave. home where both suspects live. Then, several other people in a room came out and surrounded the victim. Investigators say Pray put on a mask and grabbed a gun, pointing it at the victim's face and telling him he was going to kill him if he tried to resist. Then they hit him with a gun and kicked him on the ground. The robbers took his PlayStation 5, phone, and money, while Prudent and another masked person held him. In the report, when all the property was removed from his car, the masked individual walked out to his vehicle at gunpoint and told him to drive away. The victim then drove to a friend's house to call law enforcement. Both suspects are now facing charges of aggravated battery, kidnapping, burglary, and robbery with a firearm. LCSO said the violent crimes unit is still actively investigating.
