A man was robbed of his phone and cash Wednesday night inside a church just west of Lawrence, said Douglas County Sheriff’s Office Sgt. Kristen Dymacek.

Before 10 p.m., an 18-year-old man called the sheriff’s office and said he was robbed inside the First United Methodist Church, 867 U.S. Highway 40, while at a basketball scrimmage, Dymacek said.

Inside the church, four people approached the man and demanded his phone and wallet, Dymacek said. The man knew at least one of the four people involved and felt threatened. No weapons were displayed during the incident, she said.

The man handed the four people his phone and $20 in cash, Dymacek said.

The four people — Kenneth Robinson, 18, of Lawrence, Anthony Kerley, 20, of Topeka, Thomasina Renae Soto Meraz, 19, of Wichita and one 16-year-old juvenile — were found by deputies at the church and arrested on suspicion of robbery, Dymacek said.

Robinson, Kerley and Meraz were all booked into the Douglas County Jail and held without bond, according to booking logs.

The juvenile was booked into the Juvenile Detention Center, Dymacek said.

As of Thursday morning, no charges had been filed against any of the four people in Douglas County District Court.

Further information was not immediately available.
