GPD: Suspect Tried To Flee After Robbing Grill

Around 10:30 AM Thursday, the Goldsboro Police Department responded to a reported robbery at the A&K Grill on the 1800 block of S. John Street.  The GPD’s Criminal Investigations and a Wayne County Sheriff’s K-9 unit arrived shortly after the call came in.  During the investigation, a nearby resident was approached by the suspect who asked for a ride away from the city.  The resident, knowing something had just happened at the A&K Grill, brought the suspect back to the crime scene.  The suspect, 20-year-old Tyler L. Jenkins of Goldsboro, was promptly arrested.  Jenkins is charged with Common Law Robbery and Kidnapping.  He was left in the custody of the Wayne County Jail with bond set at $63,500 secured.
