Milford - Delaware State Police State Troopers have arrested two men for taking money and then seriously injuring a woman during a robbery at her residence early Sunday morning.
This incident occurred when the 23 year-old victim befriended the two suspects, Veach and Johnson, and the trio arrived at the victim’s home. While they were at the residence of the victim, she went up stairs for a brief period of time. When she came back down she discovered money missing from her purse. Veach denied taking the money after the victim confronted him. The victim noticed that Johnson was outside and confronted him. An altercation ensued between Johnson and the victim.
During the altercation between the two Veach entered a black vehicle and began to back out on Shawnee Road. As Veach was backing out Johnson entered the passenger side of the car. The victim was able to open the rear passenger side door in an attempt to get in the car to retrieve her money. Veach quickly accelerated causing the victim to fall out of the car to the ground prior to the pair fleeing.
The victim was able to get to a neighbor’s house where emergency responders transported her to Milford Memorial Hospital. Her injuries were so severe she was flown to Christiana Hospital near Newark. She was admitted with a severe contusion to her entire left side, brain bleed, and loss of vision in her left eye.
During the investigation troopers learned that the three were in the Harrington Raceway and Casino. Troopers assigned to the Division of Gaming Enforcement were able to obtain video that assisted in identifying the suspects
On Thursday August 5, 2010, troopers arrested Veach at his home and charged him with Assault 2nd and Reckless Endangering 1st. He was committed to the Sussex Correctional Institute in lieu of $7,000 bail.
Today, August 6, 2010 Troopers arrested Johnson at his home in Harrington. He was taken back to Sussex County and charged with Robbery 1st and Conspiracy 2nd. He was also committed to the Sussex Correctional Institute in default of $11,000 bail. The State Attorney General’s Office will look at amending Veach’s charges to Robbery and Conspiracy during a Grand Jury hearing.
Troopers did recover evidence implicating the two in the robbery.

ReplyDeleteWhat's up the crime? Stupidity? A woman befriends 2 men and invites them to her home? She chases them after they take her money rather than just getting a tag number? I can tell you that is not what I would have done!
ReplyDeleteThis smells....why on earth does a woman invite not one but 2 men back to her home??????she is lucky to be alive.
