Demetrius Earl Hillman and Conor Thurston Williams were tracked by the EPD with a tracking app installed on a stolen cellphone, according to a Nov. 24 press release.

Suspects were observed by police driving a Dodge Stratus, which they abandoned when the vehicle drove on the EmX bus lane and became stuck.

An EPD K-9 team found both suspects near Garden Avenue. Hillman resisted and fought with a police dog before being taken into custody. He was admitted to a hospital shortly after.

According to the release, Williams was charged with first-degree robbery, interfering with police, unlawful use of a weapon and menacing, while charges for Hillman are pending as of 1 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 24.
