Teen pleads guilty in haunted York trail holdup

ROCK HILL, S.C. (AP) — A 17-year-old has admitted he killed one man and shot two others during separate robberies in York County last year.

The Herald of Rock Hill reports (http://bit.ly/sk9pMY) that Brandon Alex Davis of Rock Hill pleaded guilty Thursday to voluntary manslaughter, three counts of attempted murder, two counts of armed robbery, two counts of possession of a weapon during a violent crime and criminal conspiracy.

Davis was arrested in October 2010 and charged in a holdup and shooting at the “Trail of Terror” southeast of Rock Hill. A ticket collector on the trail was shot in the shoulder, and bandits took about $1,500.

Several days later, police say Davis shot and killed 23-year-old Anthony Whitlock and wounded Whitlock’s uncle at another location.

Davis will be sentenced later.
