OCONTO – Felony charges filed against two Oconto residents initially accused of robbing a man at gunpoint of a purported $60,000 in designer watches have been dropped, but they still face three misdemeanors.
Joshua Uphill, 22, and Jessica Humblet, 20, have pleaded not guilty to theft, battery and disorderly conduct over the Oct. 29 incident.
According to the criminal complaint, the victim, who was apparently acquainted with the suspects, did not directly contacted Oconto Police. Instead, an officer was called to 300 block of McDonald Street about 9:45 p.m. for suspicious person who knocked on a door.
The officer found a man a few blocks away who said he’d just been robbed of his belongings.
