Three charged after plotting to rob and assault Redstone Township man
A Redstone Township man was stabbed after three people allegedly plotted to rob him at his home early Monday.
Brittany Nicole Sumey, 25, of Searights was arrested Monday and told police about the plot. Police issued arrest warrants for her alleged co-conspirators, Zelcon Demez Walker, 21, of Pershing Court and Willie James Lancaster, 27, of Snyder Terrace.
Lancaster allegedly stabbed Donald Kilgore in the abdomen and cut his ear. Kilgore was taken to Uniontown Hospital by ambulance and then flown by medical helicopter to UPMC Presbyterian Hospital in Pittsburgh, according to court documents.
Lancaster and Walker allegedly planned to have Sumey meet Kilgore at White Tavern Bar and go back to his house, where the men would pistol whip and rob him. Sumey drove Walker and Lancaster to the bar, and later left with Kilgore for his Tippecanoe Road residence. Sumey was on her phone frequently and asked Kilgore if they could go outside to smoke, according to court documents.
A man, later identified as Lancaster, met Kilgore outside and demanded his wallet and money. The two began fighting and Kilgore was stabbed, police said.
Lancaster and Sumey ran down the street and Kilgore caught Sumey, held her on a neighbor’s porch and told the woman inside to call 911.
Police said Lancaster escaped to Sumey’s vehicle, which was staged nearby as Walker waited.
The neighbor, Jane Keffer, called 911 at about 2:15 a.m. Monday saying Kilgore was bleeding and holding a woman on her porch, court paperwork said.
Lancaster is charged with criminal attempt to commit homicide, aggravated assault, robbery, conspiracy to commit aggravated assault and robbery, simple assault, recklessly endangering another person and theft.
Last year, Lancaster pleaded guilty to carrying a firearm without a license and possession of marijuana after he was found in Uniontown with a gun following a call that six shots were fired around Collins Avenue March 16, 2016.
Walker is charged with conspiracy to commit robbery and conspiracy to commit aggravated assault.
He was charged with robbing a person in Uniontown, March 9. The case was later dismissed. He was charged in April for allegedly threatening to put a witness in his trunk if he did not pay him $10,000 and record a video recanting a statement he made to police. That case was dismissed after the alleged victim told police his original story was untrue.
Sumey is charged with conspiracy to commit robbery and conspiracy to commit aggravated assault.
She is the mother of Zachary Sumey, a toddler who was severely beaten in a West Brownsville home Nov. 19. Her then-boyfriend, Benjamin Glenn Lesczynski, is awaiting trial in the case. Sumey was not charged, and testified against Lesczynski in court hearings.
