Two people are being held pending court arraignment after allegedly robbing a delibery driver for a local Chinese restaurant. St Joseph Police say the incident happened Friday, September 28 in the 1400 block of Lafayette. A delivery driver for Hunan’s Restaurant was held up as he was delivering a food order to two suspects.

Both men were charged with 2nd Degree Robbery, which is a class “B” felony. Their bond was set at $75,000.
