Two young Bristol Township men were arrested after a foot pursuit following a robbery that left a man shot early Saturday morning.
Aaron Day, 20, of Fleetwing Drive, and Jacob Pemberton, 18, of Pacific Avenue, were taken into custody and charged with attempted murder, conspiracy to commit murder, robbery, aggravated assault, theft, fleeing and eluding police other related offenses.
According to an affidavit of probable cause, the robbery incident started in front of the J and R Check Cashing and Pawn Shop at Five Points and ended with a large amount of blood and “human tissue” behind the New Falls Road Acme store in the Levittown section of Bristol Township.
Pemberton told police he and Day talked about “getting some money” leading up the robbery and shooting. He specified to police that the term referred to robbing someone or stealing. The duo took Pemberton’s mother’s PT Cruiser and drove around for a half hour before spotting the victim near the Getty Gas station at Five Points, according to court documents.
Pemberton and Day, with a shotgun concealed down his right pant leg, reversed the PT Cruiser into a parking spot behind the Acme and approached the victim, the men said to police.
The two young men told police they approached the victim and demanded money just after 4:20 a.m. The victim said the suspects asked him “where is the weed?” and then Day requested his money. The man put up a fight and Pemberton and Day wrestled and fought with the man before Pemberton shot the victim, according to a affidavit of probable cause.
Realizing he was hit by two shotgun blasts, the victim began screaming and running toward the parking lot of the Acme. He told police he heard the suspect yelling they had to flee. Shortly after, he saw the silver PT Cruiser drive out of the supermarket parking lot with no headlights on, court records show.
Pemberton told police the spent shotgun shells were thrown out the passenger side window of the getaway vehicle and a black bag taken from the victim was also tossed, court records show.
Police spotted the suspect vehicle on Emilie Road. They stated the car then used Woerner Avenue to access New Falls Road and the Indian Creek section. Pursuing police Officer John Terman reported the PT Cruiser sped up and attempted to flee on Indigo Road.
In their attempt to flee, Day and Pemberton pulled onto a trail at the PECO power line property, where the PT Cruiser became stuck in the mud. The two ditched the vehicle and fled on foot, according to the affidavit. Police said Pemberton was taken into custody on Ice Pond Road and Day got away until police caught up with him later in the day.
Responding officers reported finding a sawed off double barrel shotgun loaded with two rounds in the vehicle.
The victim was taken to St. Mary Medical Center in Middletown and underwent surgery to his left bicep and upper arm. Many shotgun pellets and wadding was removed from his arm, police said. The victim told authorities from his bed in the intensive care unit the gun was fired from about 8 feet away.
The two suspects were arraigned and are being held in county jail on $500,000 bail, according to court dockets.

Seriously, the guy suffered 2 shotgun blasts and could have died. Though I see the humor in the stupidity of sign wearing criminals, there is nothing funny about this man's injuries.

How come the victim's name was not given? Neither here nor the Courier Times.

It's a general practice to withhold names of victims for privacy concerns; it's also common to withhold names in police reports of minors as well as the names of those involved in misdemeanors.

A shotgun is one of the most devastating weapons on the human body.No humor in this story and no offense to the other posters as some folks just do not know or are desensitized from too much gaming violence and tv depictions of heroes getting slightly wounded.These two vile heartless cretins should never be let out of jail.They and their ilk disgust me and are a drain on our system.Our local neighborhoods are under siege lately and it is getting worse.Alternatives,now these days it seems to be normal. I for one am work at getting out of here and am afraid to walk around without self protection.

Are you serious with this? They did what they felt was necessary at the time? They felt it was necessary to shoot an unarmed person, after they stole their mommys car and attempted to rob him? No they thought they were tough wanna be thugs and they aint nothing but pathetic little boys, just like the rest of you wanna be "gangstas" you think you are tough, go walk the streets of camden at 4 am see how tough you are then "boul" its levittown not Camden, people should be safe to walk the streets but they are not because a bunch of little punk kids who think they wanna play games go do stupid shit, well yeah they can do their time and I hope they get a really long time and I hope the real thugs in prison teach them a lesson that maybe next time they should stay home in their suburban house and leave their mommys PT cruiser and an innocent man alone, but personally I hope they dont let them out until they are 80. Go get an education, learn how to talk and do something with your life, you need to get your shit together or you will end up in jail just like your "youngbouls", these kids had a chance at a guy life, they didnt grow up in the streets but they threw it away for what? For NOTHING!
Unbelievable

@Nunya Business - to be fair, Fleetwing at 4 AM is pretty close to Camden. Friends and I would drive through during the middle of the night during high school for a rush of adrenaline, and we sure got it.

Shotguns can be purchased at 18 years old and you can use a hack saw to cut them down, I find it funny they're not facing felony weapons charges since it is a felony to possess a shotgun under 18 1/2 inches without a class 3 weapons permit.

They tried to kill someone you dumb human being! You and these other degenerates who want to interfer with the taxpaying homeowners will find out that we will fight back and win and you will just be a pathetic loser withca lifetime of hell and misery!

Thats the problem with kids these days, I am SHOCKED by all the kids friends comments saying "Oh they made a mistake" a MISTAKE?? A MISTAKE? Shooting someone for no reason is not a mistake, its a premeditated crime, having a car accident is a mistake, Shooting someone because you wanted to go get some money is not a mistake..and I for one would be saying the same thing if it was one of my family members or friends, but Im sure it wouldnt be because they know whats right and wrong, and further if it was a friend of mine, they wouldnt be a friend of mine any longer. Clean yourselves up kids, you want to bring children into this world where its not safe to walk around the street in levittown? Pathetic!

For someone who claims to be college educated, you're rather retarded when it comes to writing. You have very bad grammar, spelling, punctuation, and wordage. I am not only a white female, but I survived my youth in Compton. Where you grow up has nothing to do with the dicisions you make. You are no "THUG". Were you dropped on your head? Or were you just born retarded?

Cassius, you can't even spell Bachelor’s degree so I certainly doubt you have one. You sound like an immature, uneducated thug. Maybe if you and these two low lives spent more time educating yourselves you wouldn't have to be trying to convince people they aren't the complete pieces of garbage that they are.

There are like 8 punctuation mistakes, 4 mis-spelled words, like 5 missing capitol letters, and a huge run on sentence. Did you get your degree while you were doing hard time? If not, please let me know where you did aquire your degree, so as I can make sure I don't send my children there for your cheap education.
I'm a mom and I care

Free them? Why so they can get out and do the same thing again? That's what's wrong with this world. Kids these days have no consequences. So they do whatever they want. Until they do something so wrong that mommy can't save them. They need to stay in jail and pay their time

What did they really hope to achieve? $50 and a mystery backpack? Sounds like they thought he might have some reefer. Score of a lifetime. Bringing a loaded shotgun and using it (twice), that makes this a horse of a different color. Anyone that stupid is bound to screw up colossally, just glad they got it over with as kids and no one got killed. See ya in 20-25yrs, gangsta boyeez!

Therefore everyone needs to save all their negative comments to theirselves. You never lived a day in neither one of their shoes so stop talking aboutt them like y'all know them. FREE my cousin Aaron stay strong, & I love you
Love, your favortie cousin <3!!!!

2:06 pm on Friday, January 25, 2013
you want them freed??? what if this was the other way around and your cousin was the one shot? would you want the shooter freed? get real, yes they need to pay the consequences! i don't need to know them or what walking in their shoes results. we all have our trials in life and some much worse then others but yet we don't all go shooting people do we? this is ridiculous! that their actions were horrendous and that they need to pay the price, they are old enough to know the difference between WRONG AND RIGHT! as far as i am concerned the minute you saw off a shotgun you know your on the wrong "lane"

I had a friend who did the same shit. He was a good kid too until someone owed him money and he brought two other kids to his house and shot him with a shotgun. The guy was a drug addict who thought he could rob a couple of kids and they killed him over it. My friend didn't pull the trigger but the kid who did wouldn't of been there with out him. I tell myself to this day he's not a bad kid and wouldn't do something like that but he did what he did and now he's facing the death penalty. 19 yrs old. If you were the family of the victim you would want them dead I know I would. But if your the family of the perpetrator you refuse to believe they're like that. Well they are because they did it a and they might have been good kids but they're not any more. They should pay for what they did and they will.

ualreadyknow???? I will tell you that what Jake Pemberton did was wrong and he will suffer the consequences. I have known Jacob for the last 5 years and every interaction I've had with him was positive and that does not absolve (meaning set him free of responsibility, for the functionally illiterate such as "ualreadyknow") for his actions. I have known his mother since High School and you can comb the earth and would be troubled to find a better person. So you can back off with the negative comments or better yet grow a damn spine and show your name as I did. In the meantime go take some of that money you have set aside for your "HABIT" and take a damn English class at the local Community College, psst.. there's one on Veterans Highway in Bristol. You sound like a blithering idiot. A real man doesn't kick a woman when she's down!!!! Which is why I expect you to keep posting BS, ANONYMOUSLY!!!

First things FIRST, jake had no recollection of what he did that night- until the pieces came together, sadly... that is what drugs will do to you. jake would never take someone elses life not ever. to whoever ^"you already know is" , his mom is a great mom, been there every step of the way, and practically CLUELESS. and you cant help a kid that doesnt want to be helped, he will learn, he did make a mistake, he did not intend to take a life. jake will do his time, and come out a better person, he became a product of his enviroment and if any of you can sit here and say you never made a mistake because of drugs, or that you've never done a drug, i could truly laugh in your face. find something better to do with your time, like... take the needle out of your arm, take care of the child you walked out on.. if im correct on who you are... scumbag 3,000 mr.
