Names of Kennett robbery suspects released

KENNETT, Mo. -- The three Kennett residents arrested and charged with the robbery of a 93-year-old man have been identified.

According to reports, Sidney Sims, 17, Hollie Sims, 25, and Latriece McNeeley, 34, are facing robbery charges stemming from an incident Aug. 12 at 801 N. Walnut St.

After receiving a call about the robbery, law enforcement officials arrived at the residence and met with the alleged victim, Orville Abmeyer, who told officers that he was sitting outside in his swing when Hollie Sims and McNeeley approached him. According to Abmeyer, one of the women grabbed him and jerked his wallet from the top pocket of his cover-alls, removing $230. Both women fled the yard and got into a vehicle that was parked near the home, in which Sidney Sims was waiting.

A further search of the area reportedly found the three suspects at another Kennett residence.

Eight dollars of the $230 has been recovered.

According to the Dunklin County Sheriff's Department, bond for the two Hollie Sims and McNeeley has been set at $100,000 cash-only, each. Sidney Sims already had a bond from a previous charge in the amount of $25,000. Bond for the burglary was set at $75,000.
