The Iowa City police have arrested two Cedar Rapids men allegedly connected with robberies that occurred earlier this summer.

According to a police press release, Darius Davison, 17 and David Abrams Jr., 19, were taken into custody on Tuesday.

Davison was charged first-degree robbery in connection to a robbery of a Five Stars Cab driver at 2437 Petsel Place on Aug. 2. According to a separate police press release, Davidson and another suspect allegedly threatened the driver at gunpoint, took a quantity of cash, and then fled the scene on foot.

Abrams was charged with aiding and abetting first-degree robbery for his alleged involvement in a robbery of a Domino’s Pizza driver at 1036 Jensen Street on June 29.

According to an Iowa City police complaint, Abrams ordered a pizza from Domino’s and when the delivery arrived, Abrams and three other suspects approached the delivery car and hit it with a baseball bat. They then took the driver’s money bag and the pizza.

Both first-degree robbery and aiding and abetting first-degree robbery are Class-B felonies.
