Kennedy and one of the juveniles are charged with conspiracy to commit robbery. The other minor is facing a charge of robbery.
Police say Kennedy arraigned a drug deal with Banta knowing he would be robbed. Investigators say they aren’t sure if Banta was planning to buy or sell marijuana. No word on if anything was taken in the incident, though an arrest report says the Banta was robbed at gunpoint.
“We are still working this, it is an active investigation,” said Major Rob Richardson with the Frankfort Police Department. “We still have tons of information to go through as well as many, many more people to interview.”
Investigators anticipate more charges and possibly more suspects.
