INDIAN RIVER COUNTY — A couple and their infant were held at gunpoint and robbed of their marijuana and prescription pills by the men they had met up with to smoke pot, according to authorities.
The couple took their 3-month-old son with them to meet with two men identified as Andre Martin, 20, and Rochard Dawson, 19, on May 11, with the intent to smoke marijuana with the men, according to Martin and Dawson’s arrest affidavits.
