Maddox and another suspect are accused of entering a Daleview Avenue mobile home shortly before 3:15 a.m. May 31 in Harrison Twp. and pointing handguns at a resident. Maddox and the other suspect forced the resident into a bedroom at gunpoint and took his cellphone, money and two handguns before fleeing in a vehicle later identified by detectives, according to the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office and an affidavit filed in Vandalia Municipal Court.

Detectives with the sheriff’s office Special Investigations Unit on Tuesday found the vehicle and performed surveillance on it in Kettering, where they saw Maddox come out of a residence and get in the vehicle used during the robbery, the sheriff’s office said.

Maddox was taken into custody without incident with the assistance of the Kettering Police Department.

Two firearms were found — including one stolen during the Daleview Avenue robbery — during a search of Maddox’s residence and vehicle, according to the sheriff’s office.

Anyone with information on the other suspect in the case can contact the Special Investigation Unit at 937-225-6499.
