Authorities caught the trio after a high speed pursue through Tallahassee’s west side.
Residents in Crescent Hills off Tharpe Street in Tallahassee are astonished store robbery suspects were able to escape the dead-end neighborhood.
Lyne Pullam is glad she wasn’t home at the time. She said, “It most likely would’ve indeed freaked me out. I most likely would’ve stayed inwards because I know that we would’ve been safer inwards because if they’re carrying guns and we had been outside, we could’ve put ourselves in danger.”
Authorities say it was 22-year-old Javaris Jones, 18-year-old Tradarius Gaines, and 21-year-old Tamylon Williams who drove through that neighborhood.

The arrest report says the pursue went down Trimble and Hartsfield Roads, Tharpe Street and Old Bainbridge Road, with speeds topping one hundred miles an hour.
