The other suspects were taken into custody today with the help of U.S. Marshals.

Acting Montgomery Police Chief John Hall said he credits the arrests to old-fashioned police work. He says the case was made more complicated because none of the suspects is from Montgomery. Hall said traffic cameras in the area of the shooting helped in the investigation.

All were placed in the Montgomery County Detention Facility.

Bonds are as follows; Johnson and Anderson – $90,000 bond each. Foster, Ford, and Davis – $15,000 bond each.
