Three men are facing robbery charges across the state, including the New Year's Eve armed robbery of a Camden-area Waffle House, state police said Thursday.

Kameron Scott, 18, of Camden-Wyoming, Anthony Stafford-Jordan, 19, of Wilmington, and Devin A. Thomas, 19, of Newark, were arrested Wednesday by Delaware State University police following a noise complaint at one of the campus dorm buildings. The three men were charged with threatening a DSU students, said Carlos Holmes, a university spokesman. Holmes added that none of the men are students there.

State police detectives were later called when a computer check revealed Scott was wanted by state police in connection with the Nov. 2 shooting of a 27-year-old man, said Master Cpl. Gary Fournier, a spokesman for the state police. The victim was shot in the lower torso while he was in the unit block of Beechwood Ave., in the Beechwood Development.

Detectives, who went to interview Scott, noticed he was wearing similar clothing seen on several video surveillance images of different robberies throughout the state, Fournier said. University police informed state police a 9 mm handgun was found in Thomas' possession.

The three men were take to Delaware State Police Troop 3 in Camden where they were charged with first-degree robbery, possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, wearing a disguise during the commission of a felon and second-degree conspiracy for the crime committed at the Waffle House on Dec. 31. Stafford-Jordan and Thomas were both committed to Vaughn Correctional Center after failing to post $85,000 and $65,000 cash bail, respectively.

Scott was additionally charged with first-degree attempted murder, first-degree robbery, possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony and first-degree conspiracy for the shooting incident that occurred in November.
