3 Arrested In Connection To Robbery On Chace Lake Parkway

JEFFERSON COUNTY, AL — Three arrests were made Tuesday by the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office and the US Marshall’s task force in connection with a robbery on Chace Lake Parkway April 21.

Sgt. Joni Money of the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office said Jaylin Ashford, 19, Victoria Crumpton, 30, and Kontrell Crumpton, 27, entered an apartment on Chace Lake Parkway along with two other currently unidentified suspects. Once the group entered the apartment, they reportedly confronted the victims inside with firearms.

At gunpoint, they ordered the male victims to strip down to their undergarments and took valuables from them, Money said. One of the female victims was hit in the forehead with a firearm.

Money said Ashford knew the victims, as they had allowed him to stay at the apartment. The investigation suggests that Ashford was upset about an earlier conversation with some of the victims regarding the current living arrangements, which prompted him to leave the apartment and return with the other suspects.

The victims were able to identify Ashford, Victoria Crumpton and Kontrell Crumpton as three of the five offenders.

Money said each suspect has several warrants, including multiple robbery and theft charges.
