A man, along with three others, who led Clinton police on a high speed chase on Thanksgiving night has had additional charges levied against him.

According to court records, after an investigation 34-year-old Damon Dunbar Junior, the driver of the vehicle, along with 26-year-old Cedric Whitebuffalo, 27-year-old Chabon Warden, and 33-year-old Merrick Warden were all charged with first degree robbery and first degree burglary after allegedly breaking into an apartment brandishing a knife and a handgun while robbing a couple.

The probable cause affidavit stated that the four men entered the home and allegedly took seven grams of methamphetamine. During the incident the male occupant of the home was cut so bad, he nearly lost his left thumb. The female occupant claims a gun was held to her head.
