Authorities say a 16-year-old arranged to buy marijuana from a woman who was joined by Ketter. After all three got into a vehicle, an armed man emerged from the rear and demanded the pot.
Ketter was shot and allegedly thrown from the vehicle.
Charles’s attorney says he is a college student who was asked by an acquaintance to give a ride to pick up marijuana. He says Charles didn’t know of any robbery plans.
