KNOX — Five people have been arrested following a Feb. 26, robbery and assault in Knox, according to a media report from the Waldo County Sheriff’s Office. 

Charged with assault and robbery are Billy Knights, 35, of Oxford, and Stephen Mickeriz, 19, of Harrison.

Jessica Morrill, 38, of Woodstock, Courtney Morrill, 19, of Westbrook, and Iresha McKenzie, 26, of Boston, Mass., were all charged with robbery. 

Law enforcement learned about the crime after the male victim called to report the incident around 10:20 p.m. Monday.

The victim reportedly stated that he had invited a woman he met on social media to his home, who arrived at his residence with two other women and two men. 

The two men then assaulted the victim while the women stole marijuana from his home. The suspects then left the scene, but their vehicle was later stopped in Kennebec County.

Waldo County Sheriff’s Sergeant Cody Laite and Detective Merl Reed responded to the scene where they arrested all five individuals. 

All five are currently in custody pending arraignment.
