Warrants obtained for fourth person in Charleston robbery

Charleston police are looking for a Canton, Ohio, man they believe was the fourth man who robbed two men in downtown Charleston on April 21.

Timothy Schmachtenberger is charged with two counts of first-degree robbery.

Detectives said warrants were issued Monday for Timothy Schmachtenberger, 22. He’s charged with two counts of first-degree robbery.

Police allege Schmachtenberger was with University of Charleston students Terrell Lipkins, Robbie Dreher and Quincy Washington when they allegedly attacked Patrick Morrison and Andrew Rude after the victims left a downtown bar.

Lipkins, Dreher and Washington have been kicked off the UC basketball team and removed from the UC dorms.

Charleston police said they believe Schmachtenberger has left the Charleston area but hasn’t necessarily returned to Canton.
