Police: Second Suspect Charged in February Drug Robbery

Just days after Prince William County Police charged the first suspect in a February drug robbery, they arrested a second suspect. 

Shelton Nehemiah Briggs, 19, of King George Drive, Manassas, is charged with robbery. 

On Feb. 27 at 10:53 a.m., police responded to the 8100 block of Portwood Turn in Manassas, where a 20-year-old Centreville man, Cuong Huynh, reported that two unknown men had robbed him.

According to police, one of the men—now identified by police as Rashad Taheem Norris, of Manassas—showed a knife, took an undisclosed amount of cash from Huynh, then fled the area. No injuries were reported. Police used a K-9 to search for the suspects.

Officers discovered marijuana while speaking with Huynh. Police said that Huynh came to the area with marijuana and packaging material for a drug transaction, which led to the robbery. They subsequently charged him with possession with intent to distribute marijuana. 

Police arrested Briggs without incident. He is held without bond pending a July 10 court date.
