Two people were arrested in Washington early this morning on assault and theft charges. At approximately 12:28 a.m. in the 800 block of South C Avenue, authorities arrested 27-year-old Kachimbe Mukanzu of Wheeling, Illinois, for aggravated assault, theft in the fourth degree and robbery in the first degree. Also, 18-year-old Jamouri Shontez Stringer (Hollingsworth) of Washington was arrested for aggravated assault, theft in the fourth degree and robbery in the first degree.

It is unclear at this time if they pertain to the same case, but according to the Washington County Sheriff’s Office, nearly two hours prior to the arrests a subject went to the sheriff’s office and reported a robbery and assault. The subject was transported by Washington County Ambulance to Washington County Hospital and Clinics for injuries. Washington Sheriff’s personnel and Washington Police responded to the incident.
