Two Louisiana Men Arrested in Connection to Armed Robbery of Dollar General for $28

Both suspects in an armed robbery at a Dollar General store in Rayne, Louisiana, are now in custody, according to law enforcement officials.

The Rayne Police Department confirmed that Dearreo Rayshawn Jones, 28, was arrested late Monday night. Records show that Jones was taken into custody by the Lafayette Parish Sheriff’s Office at 11:29 p.m. He is currently being held in the Lafayette Parish Jail.

According to KLFY News 10, Jones and another man, Rayvon Robert Gore-Willis, 30, of Lafayette, are accused of robbing the Dollar General on Louisiana Avenue at gunpoint on Thursday, Nov. 14, around 9:30 p.m. Authorities said the suspects were masked and armed with at least one handgun during the robbery, which netted just $28.
