Tampa and Plant City police arrested an armed robbery suspect outside of Wendy's on James L. Redman Parkway Tuesday, June 14.
According to police reports, Nigel Freeman, 19, met a victim Monday, June 6, at Ashford Place Apartments on 30th Street North in Tampa. They arranged to meet through Craigslist so the victim could buy a phone from Freeman.
When Freeman tried to sell him a different phone than he advertised on Craigslist, the victim backed out of the deal. Freeman then pointed a firearm at him and demanded he drop the money that was to be used to purchase the phone. The victim dropped the money, and Freeman fled.
TPD worked to track Freeman, who has a Plant City address. PCPD assisted in his arrest.
