What started as a marijuana purchase ended with an armed robbery, kidnapping and police pursuit from Pembroke Pines into Miami-Dade County.
Rajay Roger Barrett, 19, of Miami Gardens, and Clifford David Massenat, 18, of Miami, are accused of robbing a man at gunpoint in the back seat of a 2017 Volkswagen Passat about 9:30 p.m. on March 13.
According to the arrest reports, Barrett was driving and Massenat put a gun to the man’s head. Two other suspects in the car demanded the man’s $600 iPhone XR, about $70 cash, keys and a plastic bag containing cannabis.
