On March 20, 2018 the Gulfport Police Department arrested 18 year old Austin Pennington, 18 year old Conner Bradford, and 21 year old Hennessy Kerner all of Gulfport charging each with one count of Armed Robbery.

The arrest was the result of a patrol response on March 18, 2018 at approximately 10:00 pm to a report of Armed Robbery near the 9000 block of Cuandet Road. The victim reported that a female had ordered a delivery of pizza, brownies, chicken wings, mountain dew, and pepsi, to an apartment. While attempting to make the delivery the victim was approached by two individuals. One of the suspects pointed a handgun at the victim as they demanded money and food. As is common with delivery drivers, the victim was not carrying cash. The suspects obtained food from the victim and fled. Gulfport Detectives responded and began investigating. The resulting investigation led to the arrest of Pennington, Bradford, and Kerner.

The warrants were obtained from Harrison County Justice Court Judge Brandon Ladner who set bond at $100,000 each for Pennington and Bradford. Bond was set at $25,000 for Kerner. They were processed and transported to the Harrison County Adult Detention Center.
