LUFKIN, Texas (KTRE) - Four Lufkin men were arrested early Tuesday morning in connection with the armed robbery of a pizza delivery driver.

According to City of Lufkin Communications Director Jessica Pebsworth, Michael Harris, 17, Floyd Hennington, 19, Deanthony Minor, 19, and Amare White, 20, all of Lufkin, were arrested and charged with aggravated robbery in connection to an incident that occurred around 12:30 a.m. Tuesday at Pinedale Manor Apartments in the 900 block of South Second Street.

Pebsworth said that a Domino’s Pizza employee reported being robbed at gunpoint of the order he was attempting to deliver – two pizzas and wings – along with his wallet by two black males. The suspects were said to have fled on foot.

Investigators and officers later were led to an apartment at the complex where the suspects were believed to be barricaded. Officers surrounded the apartment and two suspects exited without incident. However, Pebsworth said two additional suspects allegedly refused to exit the apartment, but were taken into custody after officers entered the residence. The suspects were identified as Harris, Hennington, Minor, and White.

While searching the apartment, officers said they found Domino’s Pizza boxes, a pistol hidden in a laundry hamper, and uneaten pizza slices in a toilet.

All four suspects remained in the Angelina County Jail Thursday morning – Harris and Hennington on bonds of $150,000 and Minor and White on bonds of $100,000.
