Woman Offers Sex to Silence Witness in Robbery Case

Citizen Times/

An 18-year-old woman is in jail facing a felony charge after allegedly propositioning a witness in an armed robbery case to “deter him from proceeding,” according to an arrest warrant.
According to a Citizen Times report, police arrested Tomia Teeasha London Davis on Thursday and charged her with intimidating or interfering with a witness, a Class G felony carrying a maximum sentence of 47 months. In Davis’ arrest warrant, police say that she contacted the witness and offered him sex if he withheld the name of one of two defendants accused of breaking into a man’s apartment and robbing him of $5 at gunpoint in late November.
Davis, an Asheville resident, was allegedly trying to prevent the witness in the armed robbery case from testifying against Tristin Marquese Maeweather, 21, who police say broke into an apartment in the Pisgah View neighborhood on Nov. 26 in a robbery that resulted in a gunshot wound to Maeweather’s alleged accomplice, Kalon Jamar Logan, 21.
The victim told police during an interview that Logan pulled a revolver on him during the robbery. The victim said he fought with Logan during the robbery in an attempt to wrest the revolver from him at which point the gun went off, hitting the alleged gun-wielding assailant in the foot.
Investigators recently executed a search warrant to collect a DNA sample from Maeweather to determine whose blood they found “in various areas” of the victims apartment, according to police records. The state crime lab, which handles DNA comparison testing, requires “known samples from all persons present or suspected of having been present” at the scene, police wrote in the search warrant application.
Davis, Logan and Maeweather are currently in custody at the Buncombe County Detention Center. Davis, who has also been charged with violating parole, is being held on $25,000 secured bond.
Maeweather is being held on $71,000 secured bond. He faces felony charges of robbery with a dangerous weapon, assault and battery, conspiracy to commit robbery with a dangerous weapon, and breaking and entering to terrorize.
Logan, who allegedly violated parole, is being held on no bond. He has been charged with felony counts of with robbery with a dangerous weapon, assault by pointing a gun, breaking and entering, possession of a firearm by a felon and conspiracy to commit robbery with a dangerous weapon.
Davis’ first court appearance is scheduled for Friday morning. Maeweather’s next court appearance is set for Jan. 23 and Logan’s is set for Jan. 31.
