Additionally, one of the people taken into custody was reportedly wearing a necklace that the RCSO believes might be linked to the case of Xavion Wimberly, who was robbed while dying following a hit-and-run incident back in May.
Xavier Wimberly, Xavion’s father, has been notified of the recovery and will be contacted to positively identify the necklace.
Additional charges for those arrested could come at a later time, according to RCSO.
