Court records indicate Troy Police also charged both Craigory Njua Newsome-Baker, 18, of Banks, and Rashaun Thomas, 17, of Troy, with felony first-degree robbery.

Records say police charged Harris for being a participant in the robbery since he was allegedly a passenger in the vehicle, and received some of the money.
