Woman, 91, held at gunpoint in bed; 2 men face charges

Two men face an array of charges after being arrested on suspicion of entering a home and robbing a 91-year-old woman at gunpoint on Saturday. 

Taquin Buie, 20, and Tyrell Jones, 20, were arrested after a police chase.

According to police reports, Buie and Jones admitted to entering the home, near 43rd and Glendale avenues, through a dog door, and ransacking the home of the woman as they looked for money and property.

They found her asleep in her bed and held her at gunpoint, telling her to give up money, family heirlooms and jewelry.

"They allowed her to move out of the bed only to get the money from her purse," according to court documents.

The woman, who was not injured in the confrontation, called police as the men fled in her car, according to court documents.

The Phoenix Police Department air unit saw three men run from the woman's stolen car and arrested Buie and Jones after a chase.

Jones told officers they dumped stolen property out of the car as they drove. Buie told officers some stolen electronics were in the backyard of his house. Detectives found the woman's computer and television in his backyard.

According to court documents, Buie faces charges of armed robbery with a deadly weapon, kidnapping, aggravated assault, burglary and unlawful use of means of transportation. Jones faces charges of armed robbery with a deadly weapon, burglary, kidnapping, theft of a means of transportation and aggravated assault.

Bond was set at $50,000 for Buie and Jones. Both men are scheduled to appear at Maricopa County Superior Court on April 11.

No information about the third man was immediately available.
