From Sandy Louey:
Elk Grove police arrested two men Wednesday afternoon for robbing a teenager at gunpoint.
Two boys, ages 16 and 17, were walking through an apartment complex in the 7200 block of Laguna Boulevard around 4 p.m. when two men approached them.
Montreal Curry asked to use the 16-year-old boy's cell phone and he willingly handed it over. Curry then allegedly ran away with the phone, according to a police report.
Christopher Nunn then asked to use the 17-year-old boy's cell phone. When the boy pulled out his phone, Nunn reportedly produced a handgun. He and Curry allegedly then went through the boy's pockets. They took the boy's phone and wallet and ran away, the report said.
The 17-year-old reported the robbery to a sheriff's deputy working for the Elk Grove Unified School District. Both Nunn and Curry were detained.
Curry, 18, and Nunn, 19, were arrested on suspicion of robbery, receiving stolen property, conspiracy, participation in a criminal street gang and violating probation. Curry also was arrested on suspicion of petty theft.
The two, who are being held in Sacramento County jail, are scheduled to be in court Friday afternoon.
