3 Arrested For Robbery, Kidnapping: Portland Police

PORTLAND, OR — Two people suspected of armed robbery at the Montavilla neighborhood Public Storge facility were arrested Saturday at Portland International Airport, according to Portland police. A third suspect was arrested later. All three have been taken to the Multnomah County Jail.

Jody T. Wafer, 28, Trent Lamar Knight, 29, and Brittany Kizzee, 27, are each charged with multiple counts of robbery and kidnapping. All three suspects are on a US Marshal hold and are consequently ineligible for bail.

According to police spokesman Sgt. Pete Simpson, officers from the Portland Police Bureau's East Precinct were called just after 10:30 a.m. Dec. 2. The person who called 911 did so for the victim of the alleged armed robbery.

When officers arrived at Public Storage, 1202 SE 82nd Ave., the victim told investigators he'd been robbed at gunpoint by two men who also "restrained" him and took his keys to the storage facility.

Two of the suspects (Simpson did not specify which two) were arrested at PDX by Port of Portland police. The third suspect was arrested a short time later. All three were booked by 9:30 p.m. Saturday.

During their interviews with police, all three stated they were originally from Houston, Texas.

Wafer provided the most information about himself, telling officers that he owns a trucking company but has been homeless for about four months. His criminal record from Texas includes burglary and "credit card abuse."

Kizzee refused to be interviewed after initially complying and telling officers that her home is "wherever I lay my head."

Knight said he'd lived in hotels his entire life but has been in Portland for about one year. Neither Knight nor Kizzee have any apparent criminal histories.
