What started out as a trip to the store turned into a nightmare for a man who was dragged into a car, beaten, stabbed and robbed last weekend.

Union Public Safety officers were dispatched to a business at 214 North Pinckney St. shortly after 1 p.m. Saturday in response to a report of an armed robbery. When they arrived, the officer met the victim who said he had just been robbed and stabbed. The incident report states the victim had already taken his shirt off and showed officers where he was stabbed in the back. The victim said he felt like he needed to go to the hospital and an officer radioed dispatched to send the Union County EMS to the location.

The report states the victim told the officers he knew all three of the individuals who attacked him and identified them as Schavontee Glenn, Devonta Mobley and Danny Gossett. The victim said he left the business and walked up Main Street to get some High Quality H20 and turned left onto North Gadberry Street when a white Toyota Corolla occupied by four black males pulled up beside him. He said they asked him about some weed and he told them he didn’t know anything about weed.

The victim said Glenn and Gossett were in the backseat and Mobley in the front passenger seat, all of them wearing red bandanas over the lower part of their chins. He said the driver, who he knew by the name of Kevin, was not wearing a bandana on his face.

The victim said he was pulled into the car and beaten about his head. Pulled into the backseat, the victim said Glenn had him from behind around his neck, Gossett held a knife to his throat and Mobley was pointing a chrome .38 special revolver at him. He said he was also hit with the gun.

The victim said he managed to get out the car but was stabbed in the back in the process. He said he ran back to the business he left from and called 911.

In addition to assaulting him, the victim said his attackers stole $30 and his T-Mobile Gravity cell phone.

Schavontee Glenn, 17, 129 West Main St., Union; Devonta Elemeshion Mobley, 17, 124 Lawrence St., Carlisle; Danny Ray Gosset Jr., 19, 208 Leroy-Gossett Road, Union; and Kelvin Quatrez Gault, 19, 287 Labaw Road, Carlisle, were arrested early Friday morning and charged in the case. The four are charged with the following crimes:

• Mobley — Kidnapping, armed robbery, assault and battery with intent to kill and possession of a firearm or knife during a violent crime.

• Gossett — Kidnapping, armed robbery, assault and battery with intent to kill and possession of a firearm or knife during a violent crime.

• Gault — Kidnapping, armed robbery and assault and battery with intent to kill.

In addition to these charges, Glenn is charged with pointing a firearm in an incident that occurred Monday night. The victim said she was coming out of a convenience store at 100 North Duncan Bypass when Glenn drove up in a white jeep and pointed a gun at and her grandmother.

All four were still in the Union County Jail as of Friday afternoon.
