Drug raid targets, 7-Eleven suspects among New Kent indictments

Three suspects who were arrested during a May 12 drug raid at a New Kent County campground have been indicted by a grand jury on new, unrelated charges during Sept. 15 New Kent Circuit Court proceedings.

Jason Andrew Meade, 25, of the 6000 block of Hopewell Road, New Kent, and Whitney Renee Marciniak, 24, of the 200 block of N. Ivy Avenue, Highland Springs, each received 18 indictments relating to thefts of car batteries and wires that occurred in April and May of this year.

According to the indictments, Meade and Marciniak allegedly stole a variety of items from homes and vehicles during the two-month time period. Among the items were car batteries, car battery wires, welding leads, welding tools, and a generator.

Each suspect is charged with five counts of grand larceny, five counts of grand larceny with intent to sell, and eight counts of misdemeanor petty larceny. Meade and Marciniak also have been charged with two counts of burglary in an unrelated May 12 incident. Allegedly, the duo burglarized the homes of Gloria Gunn and Lynn Stanton.

In May, Meade and Marciniak were indicted by another grand jury on charges relating to the May 12 drug raid during which authorities seized material used in methamphetamine and marijuana production. Both face additional charges of manufacturing and conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine; firearm, heroin, and cocaine possession; conspiracy to distribute heroin, and misdemeanor marijuana possession.

Nathaniel Blake Atkins, 24, of the 13000 block of Cooks Mill Road, Lanexa, who was also arrested during the drug raid, is charged with one count of possession of a controlled substance. Atkins allegedly possessed the substance on May 2.

The grand jury also indicted two suspects who allegedly robbed the 7-Eleven convenience store located in the Eltham part of the county.

Michael Sylvester Robinson, 38, of the 4300 block of Custis Mill Pond Road, West Point, and Trey Daquan Smith, 19, of the 200 block of Clancie Road, Shacklefords, each received indictments stemming from the May 6 early morning robbery of the establishment. According to the indictments, both men entered the 7-Eleven, robbed the clerk on duty, Paula Jordan, and used a weapon to commit the crime, with the duo allegedly getting away with $265 in cash. No one was injured during the incident.

Two days later and acting on a tip, authorities swooped down on Robinson’s residence in King William in a 2 a.m. raid to find both suspects inside. Also at the scene, investigators recovered the cash allegedly stolen from the store.

Robinson is charged with one count of armed robbery, while Smith received indictments on one count each of armed robbery, conspiracy to commit armed robbery, and using a firearm to commit a robbery.
