A Starkville man faces multiple felonies after he was implicated in separate auto burglary and armed robbery incidents.
Officers charged Nicholas Monroe, 24, of Starkville, and Tyrone Ward, 23, of Starkville this week with one count of auto burglary each stemming from a May 20 incident at No Way Jose, located at 125 Highway 12 West.
Ward also faces a disorderly conduct charge.
On the day of the day of the incident, SPD also charged Rodriquez Norman, 21, of Starkville, with possession of a stolen firearm and auto burglary.
Norman was also one of four people charged in connection with a Tuesday armed robbery at North Montgomery Street’s Camelot Apartments.
Few details about the incident are known, but officers arrested Sydney Westmoreland, no age provided, of Starkville, Wednesday. SPD, Oktibbeha County deputies and the U.S. Marshal Task Force later served warrants on Norman, Marvelous Houston, 40, and Fajion Hill, 19.
Westmoreland faces one count of armed robbery, while Hill, Houston and Norman each face two counts of armed robbery in connection with the incident.
Norman’s and Houston’s bonds were set at $200,000; Hill’s was set at $100,000; Westmoreland’s was set at $25,000; Ward posted $11,000 bond; and Monroe’s bond was set at $10,000.
SPD released no additional information about either the No Way Jose burglary or the Camelot Apartments armed robbery.
