Davon Irvine

AKRON, Ohio -- An Akron man and a Copley woman are accused of being part of a group that pistol-whipped two men and tied them up as they stole more than $1,000.

Alexandra Amos, 22, and Davon Irvine, 22, each face two counts of aggravated robbery. Amos is also charged with obstructing justice and faces charges in connection with another violent incident later in the day.

Amos is in the Summit County Jail awaiting a court appearance. Irvine is not in police custody and a warrant was issued Sunday for his arrest.

The robbery happened about 4:30 a.m. Wednesday at a home in the 1300 block of Pontiac Street. Amos distracted two brothers, ages 40 and 29, in order to set them up for the robbery, according to court records.

She let Irvine and others into the home. Amos watched as the gunmen grabbed the brothers, bound them with zip ties and repeatedly pistol-whipped them and demanded to know where they kept their money, court records say.

The gunmen also put a bag over the 29-year-old man's head and put duct tape over the 40-year-old man's mouth, according to police reports.

The gunmen then stole $1,280 and a cellphone before running out of the house and driving off in a sedan, court records say. The 29-year-old man managed to escape the house and call for help. Akron police arrived to find the 40-year-old man still bound with the zip ties and duct tape, police reports say.

Akron police are still trying to identify other suspects in the case, according to court records.

About nine hours later, Amos argued with a 30-year-old man at Fischer's Car Wash in the 1600 block of South Hawkins Avenue, according to police.

A 42-year-old car wash employee broke up the fight. Amos got in her car and sped towards the two men, striking them with her 2011 Buick Regal. Amos crashed into a large vacuuming unit, causing several thousand dollars worth of damage, according to police reports.

She drove away before police arrived. Police eventually arrested her Sunday at Akron City Hospital, court records say. She was charged with two counts of felonious assault.

Irvine was released from prison in May after serving two years for shooting a man in the face during an argument at a home in the 700 block of East Avenue. The 30-year-old man survived the shooting.

His sentence also included convictions for possessing a loaded gun and a small amount of crack cocaine about two weeks before the shooting.
