According to police, Tuesday’s raid on a Bristol Township apartment complex netted a 20-year-old Middletown man wanted in connection with an alleged armed robbery that happened earlier this year.
Quinton Bolden, who went by the nickname “Q,” was taken into custody by the US Marshal Service, Pennsylvania State Police Fugitive Apprehension Unit and Bristol Township police Tuesday morning at the Egdely Estates apartment complex, according to authorities. He was then transported to District Judge Daniel Baranoski’s courthouse in Penndel and arraigned on charges of robbery, theft, receiving stolen property and reckless endangerment. He was arraigned at 9:15 a.m. and sent to the Bucks County Correctional Facility on 10 percent of $75,000 bail.

Bolden along with 17-year-old Levittown resident Joshua Marquez and 19-year-old Levittown resident Mariano Maddela, who is being charged as an adult, are all facing similar charges in connection with the alleged robbery, which police say happened on Hollybrooke Drive in Middletown.
According to court papers filed against the three, a male juvenile was robbed then struck with a handgun during the robbery. Bolden, Maddela and Marquez all told the juvenile to give them his designer watch, cell phone and diamond earrings.

The juvenile was reportedly drawn to the Hollybrooke Drive home by a female who had plotted the robbery with the three men. In an interview with Detective Andrew Amoroso, the female said she was not aware a gun would be used or that anyone would be hurt, police said.

The gun, according to statements made by the female to the detective, appeared real and she did not notice an orange marker at the end of it, as you would expect to see on a BB gun or replica.
Marquez and Maddela both waived their charges on to Doylestown for trail. Marquez is also awaiting trial in connection with another alleged robbery.
