A Charlestown resident is now remanded to prison after being accused of carrying out a knife-point stick-up on Lombard Street. Ron Collins, 19, of Lot 6 Ketley Street, denied that he held Molly Culpepper at knife-point and robbed her of a BlackBerry smartphone, valued at $80,000, $60,000, a leather purse valued at $6,000 and shades valued at $20,000 on April 4.
It is the prosecution’s case that on the day in question at 1 pm, Collins held Culpepper at knife point when she exited the Ramroop’s Furniture Store on Lombard Street.
Prosecutor Michael Grant told the court that the defendant approached Culpepper, placed the knife to her neck
