RICHLAND COUNTY, S.C. — Four men have been arrested in connection with an armed robbery that occurred last month outside Columbia Mall, according to Richland County deputies.
The incident took place on May 12, 2025, at 7201 Two Notch Road. Deputies responded to a report of a robbery in which a man and his 3-week-old baby were held at gunpoint. The suspects took personal items and recent purchases before fleeing the scene in a vehicle.
Though deputies were unable to locate the vehicle immediately, the investigation led them to identify the suspects as 22-year-olds Joey Davis, Thomas Lawrence, and J’Lon Martin, along with 19-year-old Robert Tramell Williams.
On May 23, Davis, Lawrence, and Martin were arrested at the same residence, where deputies also recovered several firearms. Days later, on May 27, Williams was arrested at his home, where additional weapons were seized.
All four face charges of armed robbery, two counts of kidnapping, and possession of a weapon during a violent crime.
