Men who rob, shoot man before pursuit in Harrison Twp. get 4 years in prison
Mar. 27—Two men who were accused along with a Harrison Twp. woman of robbing and shooting a man following a drug deal and then fleeing from law enforcement last fall in Harrison Twp. were sentenced to prison Wednesday after pleading guilty in the case. Jermaine and Jerrell Harbor were each sentenced by Montgomery County Common Pleas Court Judge Steven Dankof to four years in prison. Jermaine Harbor also had his driver's license suspended for three years. Jerrell Harbor, 37, of Jefferson Twp., pleaded guilty Wednesday to one count each of aggravated robbery and felonious assault, while Jermaine Harbor, 23, of Kettering, pleaded guilty to one count each of aggravated robbery, having weapons while under disability and failure to comply with the order or signal of a police officer. The Harbors were charged alongside Crystal Carpenter, 35, of robbing a man after buying marijuana from him. According to an affidavit filed in Vandalia Municipal Court, at about 4:30 p.m. Nov. 30, 2024, Montgomery County Sheriff's deputies responded to Miami Valley Hospital and the 2700 block of Rugby Road near Golfview Avenue for a reported shooting. At the hospital, deputies spoke to the victim, who said that he was in his car in front of a house on Rugby Road when a woman he knew from Snapchat bought marijuana from him, the affidavit said. After the sale, he said two men approached his vehicle with guns drawn, robbed him of his bag and dragged him out of his vehicle. He then ran and was shot in the back, he said. A family member who didn't see the shooting took him to the hospital, court documents said. On Rugby Road, deputies said they found shell casings and blood on the north side of the road. Court documents said the shooting also was caught on video. The video showed a car pulling up to the victim's vehicle, a woman getting out of the back and making a transaction with the victim, then getting back in the car, investigators said. The car then pulls out of view but two men, later identified as Jerrell and Jermaine Harbor, come back into frame with guns drawn and approach the victim's car, the affidavit said. The two men rob the victim, and when he runs Jermaine fires a gun in the air before both chase the victim out of frame, documents said. Investigators said the victim was then shot in the back and the men fled in the car. The suspect vehicle was identified on a Flock camera as it fled, the affidavit said. At about 8:30 p.m. that day, deputies found the suspect vehicle and tried to stop it on North Dixie Drive near Bartley Road in Harrison Twp., documents said, but it fled, pursued by law enforcement. Tire deflation devices were used during the chase, and the vehicle finally stopped near North Dixie Drive and Republic Drive. Investigators said the Harbors and Carpenter were arrested and matched the description of the people in the video. Deputies executing a search warrant on the vehicle found a black bag containing a wallet with the victim's ID and credit cards, the affidavit said. Carpenter is scheduled for trial April 21 on two counts of aggravated robbery and two counts of felonious assault, all of which have three-year firearm specifications.
