Armed Robbery and Stolen Vehicle Suspects Arrested

Just after midnight on Sunday July 24, Mesquite Police Officers  were dispatched to the Terrible Herbst gas station at 810 W. Mesquite Blvd reference an armed robbery and kidnapping.  

Officers quickly arrived on scene, contained the area, and began a thorough  investigation. Officers learned the male suspect brandished a handgun and demanded  the clerk empty the cash register, then forced the clerk into his vehicle which was  parked nearby. The suspect drove westbound on Mesquite Blvd with the clerk in his  vehicle, before letting the clerk out near the CasaBlanca Casino. The clerk was  physically unharmed and was then able to dial 911 safely.  

Officers immediately checked with all other convenience stores to ensure no other  stores were targeted, and searched throughout the city for any signs of the suspect  vehicle. Throughout that day officers worked tirelessly gathering any available video  evidence and proactively worked to identify the suspect from this violent crime.  

Around 1:30 p.m. on Sunday, Mesquite Police received a report of a vehicle that was  recently stolen from the Virgin River Casino. Officers quickly identified the suspects  involved in the vehicle theft and located a hotel room registered to one of the  suspects. Officers also observed video surveillance that showed the vehicle that was  used in the robbery returned to this hotel room after the robbery. The stolen vehicle  was not the same one used in the robbery and was later recovered in a nearby  residential community. 

Officers responded to the hotel room and observed the robbery suspect and a female  exit the hotel room and approach the vehicle used in the robbery. Officers contacted  the suspects who attempted to flee on foot, but they were quickly and safely  detained. Three other occupants of the hotel room were also detained.  

Detectives obtained and executed a search warrant for the hotel room and suspect  vehicle. They recovered the revolver and the key and registration for the stolen  vehicle. At this time, detectives are still processing evidence from the hotel room, the  vehicle used during the robbery, and the recovered stolen vehicle. Further criminal  charges are pending based on the results of any evidence recovered. 

Kyle Lewis Dynes, 34, of Uhrichsville, OH, was arrested and charged with felony robbery  with use of a deadly weapon, felony first-degree kidnapping, and misdemeanor  obstructing an officer. 

David Eugene Jordan, Jr., 32, of Mesquite, NV, was arrested and charged with felony  conspiracy to commit robbery with a deadly weapon, felony grand larceny of a motor  vehicle, and felony possession of a stolen vehicle. 

Cody Jones, 35, of New Phila, OH, was arrested and charged with felony possession of a  stolen vehicle. 

Nicole Dessecker, 33, of New Phila, OH, was arrested and charged with gross  misdemeanor conspiracy to possess a stolen vehicle. 

Tabbetha Perez, 36, of Canton, OH, was arrested and charged with misdemeanor  possession of drug paraphernalia. 

Chief MaQuade Chesley stated, “As a result of the proactive mindset of MPD officers, they  were able to quickly identify and apprehend a group of extremely violent criminals who  would have continued their assault on our citizens. I couldn’t be more pleased with our team’s expedited and professional  response.”

“Unfortunately, Mesquite is seeing the negative effects of a national rise in  crime,” Chesley added. “This case is a prime example where a group of criminals believed Mesquite to be  an easy target. Like previous offenders, this group realized they were sorely mistaken  and picked the wrong town. The Mesquite Police Department has developed a strong  reputation of being highly proactive and tough on crime, and that is because of the high  level of personal commitment in our officers to keep Mesquite safe”.
