A teenager from Austell and a man from Virginia were both arrested Saturday and face multiple charges related to an armed robbery and multi-county car chase that ended with a fiery crash.

Jahsheniqe Celie Letang, 18, was arrested in Houston County along with 22-year-old Da’Von Nigel Cumberbatch, of Fredericksburg, Virginia, after the pair crashed on I-75 South, officials said. The two were checked out by medical personnel at the scene and taken to the Houston County Jail, according to Georgia State Patrol spokeswoman Franka Young.

The incident began with an armed robbery at an AT&T store in Covington, police spokesman Captain Ken Malcom confirmed in an email to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Covington police responded to the call around 9:30 a.m. at the store on Ga. 142.

According to the initial investigation, the suspects were wearing hoodies and facemasks and carrying tasers. They took dozens of cell phones, an iPad and several other office items before leaving the store on foot.


Covington police were able to identify the suspects’ car as a white Hyundai SUV and send an alert to other law enforcement agencies. Around 11 a.m., a GSP trooper spotted the SUV on I-75 South in Houston and attempted a traffic stop. Instead of stopping, the SUV sped away and the trooper followed in pursuit.

After a “brief pursuit” which reached speeds up to 125 mph, the trooper performed a PIT maneuver, crashing the car and ending the chase, Young said. Letang and Cumberbatch were taken into custody, but their SUV caught on fire and was heavily damaged, Young said.

Letang was released from jail on bond Monday, while Cumberbatch remains in jail without bond. Cumberbatch is charged with 13 counts related to the highway chase in Houston, including a felony count of fleeing from police.

Both Letang and Cumberbatch face additional charges out of Newton related to the robbery. Cumberbatch was wanted for a traffic violation in Newton in addition to the robbery charges, Malcom confirmed.

Cumberbatch? The famous actor??

Dang LDS missionaries from Idaho again. I wish they'd stay at home.....

Hummmmmmmmmmmmmm. Lets just take a wild guess as to their skin color and culture in which they were raised.

What are the odds?

Yeah..I just LOVE these names they make up at the hospital as if they didnt really expect a baby to be born.

Their phonics, ebonics, and ability to spell lets you know who made the names up right away.


I'm even aware of one named Lemongelo....but spelled :Lemon Jello....seriously.

Years ago in the 80s birth announcements, Local newspaper listed

Apollo and Ulysses Hawkins announces the birth of their twin sons, Lothario and Necrophilious.

day good kids, just need luv

My favorite (but there are many) was the running back from FLA State named "Amphony" Jones (gee, I wonder why spell check underlines "Amphony" in red? )

You're mistaken - these kids are clearly Amish youth running loose on rumspringa.

Letang and Cumberbatch are the most common Amish names, right after Miller and Yoder.

I wonder if they are black???????????

solid caucasian names rith there..... Damn whitey

One of them was released on bond. Would not be surprised if all the charges are dropped. When they drop charges against left wing rioters and arsonists do the arrest records still exist?

Parent at wife's school were she taught registered new student for kindergarten. Sh*thead was written as the child’s first. Registrar asked how to pronounce the little girl's name. Mother replied "Shi-theed!." When asked if that was a family name passed down, Mom said it was just something she read in a book and liked it. You can’t make this stuff up! Hasbeen

True here. Back in the 1980's, there were twins in the ATL are Named Lemongello and Orangegello. Le -Mon-ja-Lo and Or-Ron-Ja-Lo. My best friend taught them in elementary school. Told this story in the late 1990s at dinner with my buddies, one my gunsmith and the other a DeKalb Co Sheriff. My gunsmith buddy called BS on me and immediately my sheriff buddy tells him "It's true. We've had them in Juvi lock up several times". So not urban legend for sure.

Other winner was She-they'd spelled s h i t h e a d . No joke. How embarrassing.

My gosh, an ATT store got robbed and it didn't make national headlines.

Trying to figure out why it was worth the time to cut and paste

Not Jahsnenique and Da'Von!!!

But they're such good kids, they were turning their lives around don't you know!

I hope this doesn't affect their Honor Roll status.

Because their names are hilarious.

Knew of one named 'la - sha'........

Somone said 'lahshah'?????

Mom says NO! '...;the '-' is not silent...' it's ladashah..........

I went to school with one name 'Prime' Devon..............

here you go

I know of a Miata, Nike and a Cannibus.

Released on bail for armed robbery? Nigel is one's middle name, Mofo must be English!

Had a guy who worked for me a little while yrs ago he named his son $, that was on the birth certificate. just another check... f-cking lowlife mescan I'm sure Jim would suck his dick.

They don't have enough home grown criminals in Atlanta. They have to import them from Virginia.

"Appendicitis Jones"?

Clitoria Jackson is among my favorites.

You certainly have a fascination with homosexuals.

An acquaintance of mine was a grade school teacher. Had a little black girl student named Porkchop. Not a nickname, either.

How Black babies get their names................the mother takes the first letter of the name of each of the men who COULD be the father of her child, and uses them to come up with a name for her baby.

Wife had a kid named Le Baron in her class years ago. Our Mr. James’ mom probably missed an “a”.

Best one I heard was Shenigger. She came into the optometry shop where my niece worked and she about lost it. Made her show her drivers license to verify ID. NY drivers license in Alabama….. nice.

In before NBN.

lol

Why rob an ATT store? There is not much money there. How about a bank, check cashing place, a pawn shop, a coin or jewelry store? An armed robbery is going to send you to prison if you are caught, make it worth the risk.

Saw a birth announcement where the folks named their daughter "Violence".
Whites.

THAT...is the only plausible explanation.

Birth announcement in the local paper here a few years ago, they named the child "[bleep]", pronounced She Thead. Can you imagine their teacher when they enter school? Or the ridicule the kid will get growing up. You know the color.
