DRIVER
On
January 12, 2009 at approximately 9:24 pm the Hong Kong
Chinese Restaurant received a take-out order via phone, the
order was worth $ 22.99 and the delivery was to be made at an
address on Bayview Lane in Port Orange. When the driver
arrived on scene Nicholas Rautio(18) and the co-defendant
Devontae Brown(17) made contact with the driver in the
driveway.
Devontae
Brown pulled out a dark colored firearm and ordered the driver
to get on the ground; Nicholas Rautio then placed the driver
in a headlock and forced him to the ground. The driver’s
wallet and Chinese food were stolen and the suspects fled the
area on foot.
A
neighborhood canvass led the Port Orange Police Department to
1135 Greenbriar Avenue which is one street over from Bayview
Lane. Contact was made with Nicholas Rautio in his bedroom
along with Devontae Brown. Inside of the bedroom the Chinese
food order and receipt was located, a black in color BB gun
resembling the firearm in question, as well as other items of
evidence to link both individuals to the armed robbery.
Detective
Steve Braddock and Officer Jeffrey Wenzel then arrested both
individuals and charged them with Armed Robbery. Nicholas
Rautio (18) was charged with Armed Robbery and Battery then
transported to the Volusia County Branch Jail under a $21,000
bond. Devontae Brown (17) was charged with Armed Robbery and
transported to the Department of Youth Services.
