One suspect brandished a firearm, demanded property, and struck the victim with the weapon. The victim was then pulled from the vehicle and kicked before the suspects fled.
Tapscott is charged with malicious wounding, robbery, brandishing, assault by mob, and use of a firearm in the commission of a felony. Police continue to seek the remaining suspects.
