An investigation led officers to arrest 18-year-old Lamode Lathan-Burge and two 15-year-olds who were to determined to be escapees of the Knox County juvenile detention center.

Josiah Capone Rogers, 15, of Davenport, one of the escapees is being charged with first-degree robbery, as is Lathan-Burge, related to a Nov. 27 robbery in Davenport.

Any charges that the other 15-year-old could face are unclear at this time.

Rogers and Lathan-Burge were both transported to the Scott County Jail while the other 15-year-old was taken to the Juvenile Detention Center.

The five were able to escape the Mary Davis Home on November 13 after attacking staff and stealing a vehicle.
