UPDATE: Loudoun County Man Sentenced to Prison After Robbing Freedom High Students

Update: Nov. 28, 2011

Daylin Drashawn Aylor, now 19, will serve eight years in the Virginia Department of Corrections after being convicted of Robbery and Attempted Robbery, according to a statement released by the Commonwealth's Attorney's Office in Leesburg.

Aylor was sentenced to 15 years for the Robbery conviction and five years for the Attempted Robbery conviction, for a total of 20 years in prison. However, 12 years were suspended. Following his release, Aylor will be on supervised probation for 15 years.

The statement also revealed that Aylor has a substantial criminal history in the Juvenile Courts of Prince William County, which includes Robbery and Larceny convictions and several probation violations.

“The Juvenile Court makes every effort to rehabilitate and redirect the behavior of youths who commit crimes,” said Commonwealth’s Attorney Jim Plowman.  “However, when these offenders become adults, the Court’s focus takes a drastic shift from rehabilitation to protection of the community.”

Despite being eligible for the Department of Corrections' Youthful Offender Program, Aylor was denied consideration into the program.

The second suspect, Daquante Timbers, was convicted of Assault and Disorderly Conduct.

Three Freedom High students were robbed on Saturday, Feb. 26 by two men while walking on a path around the high school.  One of the suspects was carrying a knife and demanded cash from the students. 

The two men fled the scene in a white SUV, which was stopped soon afterward by police after the students called 911.

The teens were able to identify fellow student, Daquante Harrison Timbers, 18, of Sterling as one of the assailants.  The second suspect is Daylin Drashawn Aylor, 18, of Chantilly.  They were each charged with two counts of robbery.  The Commonwealth's Attorney's Office will be consulted about any additional charges.

The driver of the vehicle was a juvenile who was released to a parent. 

Timbers and Aylor were arraigned on Monday, Feb. 28, and are being held without bond at the Loudoun Adult Detention Center.
