A Savannah man accused of robbing an 11-year-old boy was indicted Wednesday on armed robbery charges.
A grand jury determined that Kevin Johnson intended to “commit a theft” and “unlawfully take property of another” using a gun, according to the indictment.
Johnson had faced charges of armed robbery, aggravated assault with intent to rob, and two counts of cruelty to children in the first degree, after Savannah-Chatham police said he knocked a 54-year-old man and his 5-year-old daughter to the ground and forced his son to give him $5 at West 54th and Montgomery streets on Nov. 9, 2012.
Police had also charged him with armed robbery and aggravated sodomy after detectives investigating the robbery of a pizza delivery driver on West 54th Street on Nov. 11 saw that he fit the description of the suspect.
