Warrants reveal how violent Myrtle Beach crime spree allegedly unfolded

MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. (WBTW) — Two men went on a violent two-hour-long crime spree earlier this week in Myrtle Beach while two of their friends served as their getaway drivers, according to warrants obtained by News13. Drevon Kennedy, 21, and Asa Price, 19, both of Columbia, face multiple armed robbery and other charges after the string of five robberies that began late Tuesday night in the parking lot of the Hampton Inn at Broadway at the beach. Kaharee Simmons, 19, of Lexington, Kentucky and Allannah Clark-Anderson, 18, of Columbia, face a slew of accessory and conspiracy charges in connection with the incidents. According to the warrants, the crime spree began when Kennedy and Price tried to rob a couple who were in a pickup truck in the Hampton Inn parking lot. Kennedy and Price allegedly approached the passenger-side door, held a gun to the woman's chest, and demanded that she give them her purse. They ordered the woman to get out of the truck, but her husband was able to drive away, the warrants said. Afterward, the two men ran to a vehicle where Clark-Anderson and Simmons were waiting to pick them up. The warrants said the suspects then drove to a parking lot at the Hilton 22 resort hotel on 22nd Ave. N., where they 'parked in a parking lot awaiting the next victim.' While there, Kennedy and Price tried to rob a man of his phone and wallet while he was putting bicycles into his van, the warrants said. The man told officers that one of the suspects had an Uzi-style gun and pointed it at him before he threw a wine bottle at the suspects and ran away. According to the warrants, Clark-Anderson and Simmons watched the robbery happen before driving away. They later contacted Kennedy and Price to see where they could pick them up again. During the spree, Kennedy and Price also approached a vehicle with a gun and tried to force a man out of his vehicle and steal his wallet at the recently reopened Burkey's Gill at 4001 N. Kings Highway, the warrants said. Price then allegedly fired a shot at the man's vehicle as the man was driving away. In the meantime, Clark-Anderson and Simmons, who had been parked nearby in a lot north of Burkey's, once again picked up Kennedy and Price and drove off, according to the warrants. They then allegedly dropped off Kennedy and Price at 66th Avenue N. to meet a 'boy' they needed to visit. A short time later, the warrants said Kennedy and Price went to a home on the 6600 block of Colonial Drive, where they made a noise to get the homeowner to look outside. When the man opened his front door to check on what was going on, the two suspects forced their way inside the home, held the man at gunpoint, and demanded that he give them his credit cards and a laptop. At one point, the suspects forced the man to drive to four different ATMs and withdraw about $1,500, while pointing a gun at his back while he was standing at an ATM, the warrants said. Afterward, the warrants said Clark-Anderson and Simmons picked up one of the suspects, but could not find the other. A short time later, with officers looking for him, the warrants said Price hid in some bushes in the area of 65th Avenue N. and Colonial Drive and approached a woman who was parking her vehicle after returning home from work. He allegedly showed her a gun in his waistband and tried to take her phone and car keys. She was able to defend herself and get away, the warrants said. Here is the entire list of charges police say the suspects are facing: Kaharee Simmons, 19, of Lexington, Kentucky, was charged with four counts of accessory after the fact to a felony, one count of criminal conspiracy and one count of transporting open alcohol in a vehicle Asa Price, 19, of Columbia, was charged with nine counts of possession of a weapon during a violent crime, five counts of armed robbery, one count of first-degree burglary, carjacking, criminal conspiracy, kidnapping, first-degree assault and battery, discharging a firearm into a vehicle, and breaking into a motor vehicle Allannah Clark-Anderson, 18, of Columbia, was charged with four counts of accessory after the fact to a felony, one count of transporting alcohol in a vehicle, and criminal conspiracy Drevon Kennedy, 21, of Columbia, was charged with three counts of armed robbery, seven counts of possession of a weapon during a violent crime, one count of criminal conspiracy, kidnapping, carjacking, first-degree burglary, first-degree assault and battery, attempted armed robbery, breaking into a motor vehicle and transporting open alcohol in a vehicle All four suspects were booked into the J.
