Police looking for Thursday night shooting suspect
Published 11:00pm Friday, September 21, 2012Troy Police are looking for suspect on the lam after a shooting Thursday night in Troy.
Police were called to the BP gas station on the 300 block of North 3 Notch Street about 10:30 last night in response to a shooting. A victim had suffered a gunshot wound the leg and had already been transported to Troy Regional Medical Center when lawmen arrived.
TPD Detectives are now searching for Robert Lee Hooten, a 36-year-old black male, who they say allegedly shot the victim. Hooten will be charged with attempted murder and his bond has been set at $50,000.
Anyone with information on Hooten’s whereabouts is asked to call the Troy Police Department at 566-0500.
In a separate incident, Troy Police arrested Nicholas Dandre Stallworth, 24, of Troy, early Friday morning on Charold Street. Police say Stallworth is accused of robbing two victims at gunpoint at about 3 a.m in the parking lot of a doctor’s office on Park Street Monday.
Police reported that Stallworth allegedly confronted the victims and demanded everything in their pockets. Cash and a cell phone were taken before Stallworth reportedly fled on foot.
Because there were two victims robbed, Stallworth has been charged with two counts of robbery first-degree and his bond has been set at $50,000 in each case.
In another unrelated incident, Troy Police officers arrested Shondra D. Warren Bland, 48, for theft of property first-degree.
Bland was arrested for allegedly taking an undisclosed amount of money from an elderly woman who was sick.
Bland was arrested Sept. 14 and her bond was set at $20,000.
Troy Police continue to investigate all three of these cases.
Heck- look at what goes on behind that station in that vacant lot. Just a matter of time before something like this happened. Next time it will be a fatality. Troy needs to clean that up.
Report comment
I heard the police have been there several times trying to clean it up. But because the land is owned by the owner of the BP station, who says he don’t mind them being back there, there’s nothing they can do. Don’t know how true it is though.
Report comment
He does not care if they are back there because he’s afraid of what they will do to the store, etc if he objects.
Report comment
IF what they are doing is illegal it doesn’t matter if he cares or not,the police can enforce the law,if I repeat if they want to.

Think of it this way: At least the police know where all of these folks are… Behind the BP… Hahahaha.. All they need to do now, is wait a few days, then roll up to “The Hang Out” and, Bob’s your uncle, there’s the guy… Because we all know, he can’t stay away from that oasis….
Hellz, anytime the police are looking for anyone, that would be the first place to look…..

You all are so right! That area behind the BP is disgraceful. Kids walk through that area a lot, too. Our leaders could prioritize correcting that problem. Also, if the BP owner said he does not care what goes on that close to his store, maybe residents who actually go there for legitimate purchases should consider a boycott and show that the situation bothers them and that we want better for our community.
