LOS ANGELES—An Oakland man who was among five people arrested in connection with a holdup at gunpoint in Beverly Hills was charged June 24 with robbery. Two other young men among the arrests were released due to insufficient evidence, authorities said.
Gangster Lawson, 23, pleaded not guilty to one count of second-degree robbery, according to the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office. Mr. Lawson is due back at the Airport Courthouse on July 9.
