Police say IDs lead to arrests in party robbery

BAY MINETTE -- Two robbers couldn't hide behind ski masks when they burst into a party Sunday because they had been guests just hours earlier -- wearing the same clothes, police said.
Gregory Lyles and Gregory DaWaun Anderson never changed out of their shirts in the roughly three hours that passed between the time they left a football-watching party and the time they allegedly returned to rob the host, shooting a guest in the process, according to Bay Minette Police Chief Michael Rowland.
Lyles and Anderson were quickly caught as nearly all of the victims believed that they recognized them, police said Tuesday.
The two were being held without bond Tuesday in the Baldwin County Corrections Center in Bay Minette, the chief said. The Bay Minette men, face attempted murder, first-degree robbery and first-degree burglary charges.
In news releases issued shortly after the incident, police named the two as the prime suspects. Lyles, 24, surrendered to police Monday morning, and Anderson, 19, did the same later that evening, Rowland said.
Rowland said the two had attended the party at Michael Baker's home on Vine Street for a few hours, but left around 3 p.m. A few minutes after 6 p.m., they stormed back, their faces covered by ski masks, forcing the door open, while a group of about 10 people were watching the NFL playoffs.
Both wielding 9-mm handguns, Lyles and Anderson fired at least six total rounds into the ceiling and walls and announced they wanted money, according to the chief.
The gunfire scared many of the guests, who ran to neighbors' homes and called police and named the suspects, according to Rowland.
One of the victims, Eric Broughton, apparently recognized Lyles by his voice and tattoos he left uncovered on his arms, the chief said.
Anderson chased Broughton and reached around a bedroom door as Broughton tried to shut it, Rowland said. Anderson shot him three times in the chest, he said. Broughton was treated at the University of South Alabama Medical Center in Mobile and released Monday, according to Rowland.
The robbers stole at least $1,000 before fleeing south on Vine Street on foot, according to the chief. Police later found a ski mask and a jacket with an undisclosed amount of cash stuffed inside. Investigators believe most of the money was stolen from Baker, Rowland said.
Even though Lyles and Anderson were the main suspects, Rowland said, "We're not going to exclude that there may be further arrests in this case."
