Police arrested a Point Breeze resident for supposedly robbing a deliveryman.
While taking food to a residence on the 2000 block of South Wilder Street at 5:35 p.m. Nov. 25, the complainant had his employer call the number that had placed the order after receiving no answer at the door, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. As he walked back to his car, he contends an unknown male approached him and stated “Drop everything. Give me everything you have.”
Claiming he saw a silver gun in the stranger’s right hand, the worker gave up $110, a cell phone and the food. He said the alleged thief told him to return to his car and began to waive the weapon at him to encourage him to hurry the process. He added that the man instructed him to drive in reverse on Wilder Street and that the reported aggressor ran the opposite direction.
Authorities placed the supposed figure’s image in an array, with the complainant positively identifying him, Tolliver said. Police arrested Gregory Berbvine, 23, at 11:30 a.m. Nov. 30 and charged the resident of 1600 block of Latona Street with possession of an instrument of crime, firearms violations, theft, assault, robbery, recklessly endangering another person and making terroristic threats. He had not posted his $500,000 as of press time and awaits a Dec. 16 preliminary hearing.
