SHE STATED THAT SHE SAW CREDIT CARDS AND IDENTIFICATIONS BELONGING TO CHINESE PEOPLE. SHE STATED THAT SEDRIC HAD A GUN. SHE STATED THAT THE AMOUNT THAT WAS COUNTED WAS $17,000.00. DAVIDA SAID THAT AFTER THEY COUNTED ALL THE MONEY ALL OF THE OTHER ITEMS WERE THROWN IN THE DUMPSTER. RUSSELL TOLD HER THAT HE SPRAYED THE MALE CHINESE VICTIM WITH MACE AND TOLD SEDRIC TO GET THE KEYS OUT OF THE VICTIMS POCKET. SHE ALSO SAID THAT RUSSELL ARRIVED AT THE APARTMENT FIRST AND HE KEPT LOOKING OUT OF THE WINDOW WONDERING WHERE SEDRIC WAS. DAVIDA SAID THAT SEDRIC CALLED RUSSELL TWO DIFFERENT TIMES FROM PAYPHONES BECAUSE HE WAS LOST. HE WAS WANTING TO "DITCH" THE STOLEN CAR, BUT RUSSELL YELLED AT HIM TO STICK WITH THE PLAN AND COME TO THE APARTMENT.
DAVIDA STATED THAT SHE WENT SHOPPING WITH THEM THAT NIGHT. SHE STATED THAT THE NEXT DAY RUSSELL HAMBLIN AND OTHERS WENT TO CHARLOTTE AVENUE AND PURCHASED A BLACK PONTIAC AZTEC. SHE ALSO STATED THAT THEY WENT TO WALMART AND PURCHASED A LARGE SAFE. SHE STATED THAT THE SAFE WAS PURCHASED AT WALMART ON NOLENSVILLE ROAD. DAVIDA STATED THAT THE SAFE WAS TAKEN TO 550
SOUTH 6TH STREET. DAVIDA SAID TAT RUSSELL WENT TO SUPER D'S NIGHTCLUB THE WEEKEND OF THE ROBBERY AND HE WAS BUYING DRINKS AND FLASHING SO MUCH MONEY THAT THE OWNER TOLD HIM THAT HE BETTER PUT HIS MONEY AWAY. IN AN INTERVIEW, HAMBLIN TALKED ABOUT BEING AT SUPER D'S NIGHTCLUB. WHEN RUSSELL HAMBLIN WAS ARRESTED A PIECE OF PAPER WAS FOUND WITH INFORMATION ABOUT THE "CRIME BOSS FAMILY." ONE OF THE NOTATIONS SAID THAT WAYNE HOLT HAD BEEN DROPPED AS A MEMBER. DAVID WAS ASKED ABOUT THIS AND SHE SAID THAT WAYNE IS ERIC HOLT. RUSSELL HAD HEARD THAT HE HAD TALKED TO THE POLICE, SO HE WAS NO LONGER A MEMBER OF THE "CRIME BOSS FAMILY." ANOTHER NOTATION SAID THAT THE "CRIME BOSS FAMILY" WAS FIRST NOTICED BY AUTHORITIES ON 01/26/07 AND IT ALSO SAID THAT ONE OF THE MOST HATED THINGS WERE THE POLICE. ACCORDING TO THE PAPER THE GROUP WAS STARTED NOVEMBER 2006.
ON OR ABOUT 02/16/07 DAVIDA STATED THAT SHE OBSERVED THIS SAFE AT 550 SOUTH 6TH STREET. SHE STATED THAT RUSSELL TOLD HER THE REASON HE BOUGHT THE SAFE WAS TO KEEP THE MONEY IN THE SAFE AND TO KEEP THE OTHER PEOPLE HE ASSOCIATED WITH FROM STEALING IT FROM HIM. DAVIDA ALSO STATED THAT THE SAFE WAS BOUGHT WITH PROCEEDS FROM THE HOUSE OF CHOY ROBBERY.
ON OR ABOUT 02/21/07 DAVIDA STATED THAT RUSSELL TOLD HER THAT HE THOUGHT HIS BABY'S MOTHER, SHARDEA TAYLOR HAD BEEN STEALING MONEY FROM HIS SAFE.
BASED ON THE TOTALITY OF THE CIRCUMSTANCES IT IS BELIEVED THAT RUSSELL HAMBLIN HAS BEEN INVOLVED IN CRIMINAL ACTIVITY INCLUDING AGGRAVATED ROBBERY AND ILLEGAL DRUG SALES.
THE METHOD OF OPERATION OF THE ROBBERIES ARE VERY SIMILAR WHERE THE SUSPECTS USED MACE AND A HAND GUN. THE SUSPECTS USUALLY TARGETED PERSONS OF ASIAN DESCENT. WITNESSES HAVE GIVEN
