-

North Little Rock police arrested four teenagers on Saturday at John F. Kennedy Boulevard and H Avenue after a victim reported that two people had robbed him at gunpoint, according to arrest reports.

The victim told police that an AR-15 he had just purchased at a gun show was stolen.

One robber carried a long gun and the other carried a handgun, the victim told police, and the robbers drove a blue/green Chrysler Sebring.

Marlon Marbley, 17, of Jacksonvil­le; Jessiah White, 14, of Little Rock; and Antonio Hampton, 15, of Little Rock each face one felony count of aggravated robbery.

A fourth teenager, Darius Love, 15, of Little Rock faces an aggravated robbery charge, plus additional charges of theft by receiving, fleeing and possession of a handgun as a minor.

Police arrested Love, whom they identified as the driver of the Chrysler, and the three other suspects after police spotted the vehicle driving south on John F. Kennedy Boulevard, the report said. The vehicle had been reported stolen out of Little Rock after a carjacking, police reported.

The driver fled the attempted traffic stop, traveling back north on the road at speeds in excess of 70 mph before losing control and colliding with another car, according to police.

A handgun was discovered in the driver’s seat along with three long guns in the backseat, two of which were later found to be airsoft guns; the other firearm was the rifle stolen from the victim, according to police.

The suspects did not appear on a roster of Pulaski County jail inmates on Sunday evening.
