DOTHAN, Ala. – A man thought he was meeting someone to buy a pair of Air Jordan sneakers but instead was robbed, according to police.

Kevone Devontay Smith, 19, of Dothan, and a teenager, whose name is being withheld because he is a juvenile, are charged with first-degree robbery in the April 2 incident.

Dothan Police Lt. Scott Owens said the victim met with the suspects in the southside Walmart parking lot for an arrangement to buy a pair of sneakers.

“Instead, the victim was met by a firearm and robbed of his money, which was $320,” Owens said. “Both suspects were identified through surveillance video and witnesses on the scene.”

Both Smith and the juvenile were released from jail after each posted a $50,000 bond.
