Woman threatened by armed felons outside Sun Dome
Two men were arrested outside the Sun Dome early Wednesday morning after waiting for a woman outside her car, then pointing a black handgun and threatening her, according to a USF police report.
The men, Arthur Thompson, 26, and Marvin Bobo, 22, who are unaffiliated with the University, told the woman to get rid of paperwork Tuesday at 9 p.m., after the Bloomingdale High School graduation ceremony.
“The paperwork is in reference to a Tampa police case that is still in progress, in which the defendant and co-defendant committed an aggravated assault with a firearm on the same victim as this case,” the report states.
Thompson was arrested on charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, carrying a concealed weapon, felon carrying a concealed weapon, possession of a weapon on a school campus, tampering with a witness, improper exhibition of a dangerous weapon or firearm, and aggravated assault with a firearm.
He was released from jail Wednesday night on a $16,500 bond.
Bobo was arrested on charges of aggravated assault with a firearm and tampering with a witness. He was released from jail on a $4,000 bond.
Both men have records of previous arrest.
