A third suspect has been arrested in connection with an armed robbery along Ichabod Avenue in Lehigh Acres. Lee County Sheriff's Office deputies swarmed the area on Tuesday to investigate the incident before arresting Jarell Pray and Ivan Prudent. According to the arrest reports, the victim was invited to a home on Ichabod Ave. According to the LCSO report, the third suspect, who was later identified as Willie Bell, 22, asked the victim if he had his gun on him; the victim then placed it on the table. Bell then grabbed his firearm, and several people who were hiding in a room came out and surrounded the victim, the report states. According to LCSO, the group beat the victim at gunpoint, took his PlayStation 5, phone, and money. At one point, Bell pointed his firearm at the victim and told him that he would kill him if he tried to resist, according to the report. The report states that when all the property was removed from the victim's car, a masked individual walked out to the vehicle and told him to drive away. The victim drove to a friend's house and called law enforcement. Prudent and Pray were arrested and are facing charges of aggravated battery, kidnapping, burglary, and robbery with a firearm. On Thursday, deputies said they found Bell at the Baymount Inn & Suites by Wyndham Fort Myers I-75. He was taken to Lee County Jail and faces the same charges as Prudent and Pray.
