Three Arrested In Armed Robbery At Jere Whitson Park

Cookeville Police have arrested three men from Georgia in connection to a Tuesday morning armed robbery at Jere Whitson Park.

21-year-old Dendre Denzel Middleton, 20-year-old Michael Wade Chapman, and 21-year-old Zavarious Jacquez Thomas are charged with aggravated robbery. They remain behind bars at the Putnam County Jail on $150,000 bond.

All three suspects arrested during a Wednesday morning traffic stop on South Willow Avenue near County Services Drive.

Authorities said they made the stop when they spotted a maroon Mazda SUV that fled the scene of Tuesday’s incident.

Authorities said items inside the vehicle and incriminating statements led to the arrest of the suspects.

A female suspect is still being sought at this time.
