Eric Rashad Crews

A Valdosta, Ga. man was booked into the Suwannee County Jail on Monday, June 29, in connection with an armed robbery that occurred in May of this year, according to a Suwannee County Sheriff’s Office (SCSO) report.

On the afternoon of May 7, 22-year-old Eric Rashad Crews of Valdosta, along with codefendants Henry McCray Jr. and Lillie Daniels, reportedly robbed three victims on 147th Road in Suwannee County.

McCray, a 22-year-old from Madison, was arrested on the same day of the crime for armed robbery. According to reports, he told law enforcement that the victims owed him $100 and were ready to pay him, but when he arrived in Suwannee County the victims said they didn’t have the money. The victims’ phones, wallets and a purse were then taken at gunpoint and McCray said he would return the items when his debt was paid, according to SCSO reports. The stolen property was valued at $800.

SCSO deputies found Crews, McCray and Daniels returning to the scene of the robbery shortly after the victims reported it. Their vehicle was the same one described by the victims and inside it was the same handgun victims reported being used in the robbery.
