NEW PORT RICHEY - A 29-year-old man was arrested Thursday, accused of robbing a woman at gunpoint in Griffin Park last month.

Pasco sheriff's detectives say Jeremy Lee White, of 12035 Panama St. New Port Richey, forced two women to stop the truck they were riding in and demanded their valuables.

When Billie Jo Wyatt, 23 stopped the truck, White walked over to the passenger window and pointed the gun at 22-year-old April Hancock.

"Give me everything you have, money, drugs, and all jewelry," he ordered, according to a sheriff's office report. "Just give me your purse."

Hancock took about $140 and threw it out the window and when White bent over to pick it up Wyatt drove away, a report states.

Hancock, according to the report, appeared to be impaired on drugs. She was, however able to name White as the robber but said she didn't want to file charges, the report states.

White is being held without bail at the Land O' Lakes Jail on charges of probation violation and armed robbery.
