A South Bend man has been arrested after police say a Facebook Marketplace sale turned into an armed robbery.

Police say around 8:40 p.m. Thursday, a woman met a man to sell her PlayStation 5 at the Charles Black Community Center after he asked her to change meeting locations.

During the exchange, the suspect allegedly pointed a gun at her chest and demanded the items before fleeing.

Officers used surveillance footage and license plate data to track the suspect, 22-year-old Dontrell Pierce, to a nearby home, recovering two handguns and stolen gaming accessories.

Pierce faces charges of armed robbery, pointing a firearm and unlawful carrying of a handgun.

3) Gov Braun threatening teachers about celebrating Charlie Kings death. ( this is not a crime, it’s BULLYING). He is forcing Kings ideology on us, when we DISAGREE with it .
4)Need an Intelligent Board to Regulate IA NOW.

5) Senator Young & Senator Banks need to REPRESENT the IN Constituents & NOT AUTOMATICALLY follow the BULLYING President trump & advisor Stephen Miller.( NEED a Hometown questions & answers Gathering)
