The robbery took place shortly before 2 a.m. when three men entered a home on the 300 block of Washington St. searching for money. Two of the men, at least, displayed handguns.
According to police, Palmer allegedly pointed his gun at a man demanding money. The man handed over $5 and was then ordered to lay on the floor by Palmer.
Palmer then proceeded to a room down a hallway that was locked, banging on it and then kicking it down, court documents say. Once in the room, Palmer demanded money from the woman inside and when she told him she didn’t have any, Palmer kicked the woman in the face, knocking her down, and kicked her again while on the ground prone, police say.

Palmer then picked up the victims dog Sky – a black toy terrier and left with the two other men, authorities say.
The woman told police she recognized the man because she had seen him with her daughter in the past. Upon arriving after the incident, the daughter checked her Facebook friends list and her mother picked out the defendant, later identifying him for police, as the man who robbed and assaulted her, court documents say.
