SELINSGROVE — In Snyder County, two of the men accused of being in on the robbery of a Susquehanna University student in August, have waived their right to a preliminary hearing and sent their cases directly to criminal court.
19-year-old Rasheed Hill of Selinsgrove and 19-year-old Juvan Batts of Sunbury, were set for a hearing in front of magisterial district judge John Reed. They two defendants chose to forego the hearing and sent the case to court.
Selinsgrove police tell us, Hill is charged with felony counts of robbery, and Batts is accused of conspiracy, for the August 26 incident in an SU dormitory. Police say the drug dealing robbery happened when Hill and another man went to buy drugs on campus.
During the incident, one of the suspects said he had a gun and that threat contributed to a lockdown on campus. Both men are being held in lieu of bail, a third suspect is still being sought. No charges have been filed against the student involved, identified in court papers as Florin Nork.
