Remaining Four Robbery Suspects Arraigned
All six people arrested and accused of the late-December robbery of a Galesburg liquor store have now said their innocent.

Four of those arrested for the December 20th robbery of Grand Liquor, 17 year old Shane Tatum, 20 year old Albert Prater, 20 year old Searcy Boyd, and 21 year old Bryan Vann, all made appearances in Knox County Circuit Court Thursday morning for arraignment hearings.

All four entered not guilty pleas through their public defenders, and all four asked for trials by jury.

The four, along with 17 year old Seville Boyd, and 18 year old Jekorey Green, could all be tried as soon as March 21st, and all will have pre-trial hearings on March 7th.

Vann and Prater both face felony charges of Armed Robbery Accountability, Conspiracy to Commit Armed Robbery, Solicitation, and three-counts each of Possession of a Firearm by a Felon.

The remaining three only face the accountability charge each.
All were arrested for the robbery after a search of Vann's home allegedly turned up cash and weapons, and police have suggested they could be responsible for some of the 18 reported armed robberies in Galesburg last year.
