Charlotte-area men connected to bus shooting jailed for series of robberies

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Police say three men with long rap sheets are back in jail, charged in a series of robberies.

"I am not friend of Flocka. I am a friend of Jesus," said Antonio Stukes.

Channel 9 first reported on Stukes last year, for his alleged involvement in the shooting of a rapper's tour bus.

He has been in jail several times since then.

Officers have charged Stukes, Cedrick Gatson and Walter Boyd with three recent robberies, including a home invasion and shooting that left a father begging for his life.

The District Attorney's Office would not comment on the pending charges.
