Published: December 2, 2008
Police have arrested one suspect and are looking for two others involved in a robbery Monday evening at the Purdum Woods apartment complex.
A man reported being robbed at Purdum Woods shortly before 6:30 p.m. Monday, according to a news release from the Danville Police Department.
The victim told officers that he went to Shonda Latarsha Mayo’s apartment to play chess, but was robbed instead by Mayo and two black males.
“The two guys roughed him up while she held the gun on him,” Lt. Mike Mondul said Tuesday. “He was not seriously injured.”
Mayo, 33, has been arrested and charged with robbery and the use of a firearm in the commission of a felony.
Mondul said the two men who assisted in the robbery have not been identified. The victim described the suspects as being in their 20s or 30s, with one wearing a black hoodie and dark pants, and the other wearing a dark shirt and baseball cap.

Thugs that beat and rob you at gun point.
Please explain to me who “THEY” are
I certainly do not by any means visit this apartment complex. I pass by it every Wednesday evening and Sunday morning on my way to church. I absolutely refuse to stop at the convience store across the street. I do not believe that our tax payer dollars should support those individuals who are capable of working. However I will say that I don’t agree with the nasty, racial toned comments that are posted. What exactly is meant by “THEM”.
Oh let me get this straight…..they were going to play CHESS????
What moron gets lured to Purdum Woods with the promise of a chess game? Maybe they were going to help him with his algebra homework after the game….
Mondul,if you want to know who these two thugs are,go ask her,they were all working together…DUH!!
That’s right, we pay for their food, shelter and they get a utility allowance from HUD as well. So we, the tax paying citizens, pay their way through life. Must be nice! She is no worse off now becasue she will still have 3 hots and a cot.
look at her head. She has 4 people’s hair in her head,maybe she’s the one who got beat, oh thug life is a tough life for the unemployed and WORTHLESS!!
They are probably happy to go to jail so they don’t have to pay for food. Oh wait, sounds to me they didn’t pay, the guy who got mugged did. SCUM!!!
I AGREE TOTALLY WITH THE ABOVE! I LIVE IN RINGGOLD AND GO THAT WAY EVERY DAY! IT MAKES ME SICK EVERY SINGLE MORNING THEY WALK ACROSS TO THE STORE AND TAKE THEIR PRECIOUS TIME LIKE THEY HAVE NO WHERE ELSE TO GO!! OH WAIT!! THEY DONT!! IM SORRY MY MISTAKE!
Gee I wonder if it was a drug deal gone bad. Why else would they not give a description of those who broke in?
No doubt the victim knows these people so where is the description of them? This is another apartment complex that should be imploded! Can we say “ghetto”?
