On Wednesday, a man said he was picked up in a vehicle by Polk, Jobin and a man he did not know. The trio drove him to a home on Pope Street in Memphis, according to an affidavit of complaint.
Jobin allegedly was “orchestrating the luring” of the victim to the area “by enticing him to ride in the vehicle with her.” She was in the backseat with the victim while the other men were up front.
Once they reached this address, another man pulled up. The victim reportedly “owed money” to this man regarding a vehicle. The new man pulled the victim out of the vehicle and demanded money.
The victim “was made to strip naked” and told to go to the backyard of the property. He reportedly refused, saying, “You’re going to have to kill me here.”
Polk allegedly “then pulled out a handgun and shot” the victim through the right thigh. Two other men then started punching the victim in the head, “knocking several teeth out.”
The suspects reportedly took the victim’s cellphone.
The victim was taken to an area hospital, and the Memphis Police Department began investigating. Deputies spoke with the victim and learned the details of the case.
No update on the victim’s health was given.
Jobin and Polk are scheduled to return to court on Monday.
