Ernest Logan Draper, 18, Anthony Curtis Mannon, 48, and Angela Marie Smith, 26, all of Pulaski, face charges in connection with robberies the night of Oct. 30 at Troy's Restaurant and King Buffet, which are in adjacent shopping centers on Peppers Ferry Road.

The restaurants were robbed within five minutes of each other just after 9 p.m.

In each case, a man armed with a pistol and wearing something over his face went inside and demanded money, Pulaski County Sheriff Jim Davis said.

No one was hurt.

Draper is charged with two counts of armed robbery and using a firearm in the commission of a felony.

Mannon and Smith are each charged with two counts of conspiring to commit armed robbery.

Draper, Mannon and Smith are being held in the New River Valley Regional Jail.

Davis said the investigation is ongoing and more charges are expected.
