Resume:
Rehoboth, DE-Delaware State Police Detectives have arrested two teens and are looking for a third in the Saturday morning robbery of a man.

Shawn L. Godwin, 17 of Lincoln was arrested early this morning after a female relative saw the news of an individual that was robbed near Midway Estates. When the relative saw that Godwin had an iPhone that he never had before, she questioned him about it and learned that he had gotten it from a Hispanic male. Her growing concerns made her contact Troop 7 in Lewes who sent a trooper to the residence in Lincoln where Godwin was taken into custody without incident after he produced the 30 year old victim’s wallet and iPhone.

Through the investigation it was revealed that Alexander Jones, 17 of Lincoln and Artez D. Sheppard, 18 of Lincoln also took part in the robbery. Jones was picked up by troopers at his residence early this morning without incident. A BB gun, which resembled a black semi-automatic handgun, was also turned over to troopers at the house. This gun was later learned to be the weapon that was used to commit the crime.

Jones and Godwin were arrested for Robbery 1st and Conspiracy 2nd. They were arraigned at JP3 and released to the custody of their parents pending an arraignment in Sussex County Family Court.

Artez D. Sheppard is currently wanted on the charges of Robbery 1st and Conspiracy 2nd. He also has two Capiases out of Sussex County Family Court. Sheppard may possibly be living in the Burton Village Apartments in Rehoboth. Anyone knowing his whereabouts is asked to contact Troop 7 at 302-644-5020 or Delaware Crime Stoppers at 1-800-TIP-3333.
