Conway teen arrested in connection with December armed robbery

A 19-year-old Conway man was arrested Monday in connection with an armed robbery reported last month involving a couple allegedly robbed of cellphones.

Micah Quashawn Dennison is charged with armed robbery and possession of a weapon during a violent crime, according to jail records.

Horry County officers were called Dec. 18 to a home in Little River in reference to an armed robbery. An 18-year-old female told police that she and her boyfriend met up with Dennison to sell him her old iPhone, police said.

She said they picked him up and were headed to a nearby home on Christy Way when he asked them to pull over onto a dirt road. He then pulled out a handgun and demanded both their phones, according to a police report.

After he allegedly took their cellphones, he got out of the car and walked toward Christy Way. The male victim told police that Dennison said he was lucky that he didn’t force the female victim into the backseat and rape her in front of him, the report states.

Dennison remained Tuesday at the J. Reuben Long Detention Center where his bond was set at $150,000, according to jail records.
