A couple Clarksville teens are in jail tonight after robbing their friend at gun point. Clarksville Police say Marques Townsend drove an 18-year-old victim to the parking lot of a business along the 1600 block of Fort Campbell Boulevard early this morning. That is when another man dressed in a black jacket wearing a bandana approached the two. The suspected robber held his gun to victims head and demanded his money and cell phone. He then turned the gun to Townsend and demanded his cell phone. The suspected robber then took off with $600 in cash and the two cell phones.
Clarksville Police arrived on scene and took statements from the two individuals. The victim described the getaway car as dark colored SUV with plastic covering one of the windows.
While on patrol officers Justin Steward and William Gilboy spotted a vehicle matching the victim’s description in a parking lot on North Second Street. The Clarksville Police officers found Willie Cole and a friend, who is not believed to have been involved with the robbery, inside the vehicle. Police say they found guns, gloves, a bandana, cell phones, and cash inside.
It was determined through their investigation Cole and Townsend are cousins and planned robbery. Officials say the victim had recently celebrated a birthday and was possession of more than $600 at the time of the robbery.
Both Cole and Townsend face Aggravated Robbery charges and are being held in the Montgomery County Jail. The victim was returned his money and cell phone.

Former Dyer County constable sentenced to prison
May 23, 2013 12:50 GMT
DYERSBURG, Tenn. (AP) -- Former Dyer County Constable Derick Shane Hundley has been sentenced to 25 years in federal prison.
The State Gazette (http://bit.ly/14UHydd ) reported Hundley was sentenced Monday after earlier entering a guilty plea to enticement of a minor through electronic means. The government dropped a child pornography count.
Prosecutors said Hundley, who is 30, used a cellphone to try to entice a minor female to have sex with him. Police arrested Hundley last July and found an external hard drive that contained numerous images of minors involved in sex. He resigned from the constable post he had won in 2010 after his arrest.
