Police said on Saturday, a man had made arrangements online to sell an item and later got a message that the individual purchasing his item was at his house.

The victim said he left the house to find the purchaser and was attacked from behind by two suspects. During the struggle, the victim said he heard a “pop” before the suspects ran away.

Officers were able to determine Travis and Busch were the suspects in the attempted armed robbery.

The two face possible charges of felony robbery and armed criminal action. According to public jail records, they both have bonds of $250,000.
