A 19-year-old Cape Girardeau man charged with second-degree armed robbery remains in the Cape Girardeau County jail after his case was delayed Monday before Circuit Court Judge William Syler. Mary Patricia Tucka, Jajuan Bell's attorney, said evidence is still being reviewed and that additional investigation is needed. Bell was arrested in October in connection to a robbery and assault that occurred at Club T Zone on North Spanish Street. Witnesses said eight teenagers were involved. After searching the neighborhood around the dance club, police officers located Bell. Cash reported stolen from a cash register at the dance club was not found on Bell at the time.
