Deputies arrested two South Daytona residents — 25-year-old Daniel Evans III and 21-year-old Carisa Noel Hall — Aug. 7 in connection with the Aug. 3 home-invasion robbery of a 67-year-old Palm Coast woman.
The woman, Pamela A. Berdebes, was home at about 9:50 the night of Aug. 3 when she heard a knock at the door.
The person on the other side said, ”Pam, it’s Marquis. Let me in.”
Marquis was the name of her ex-roommate Carisa Hall’s boyfriend.
When she cracked the door open, Evans shoved it hard from the other side, hitting her in the head and knocking her to the floor, according to a Sheriff’s Office news release.
He walked inside, telling her not to look at him or she would be killed.
He was on a cell phone, talking with someone who seemed to be giving him directions.
“She said you have pills,” Evans said to Berdebes.
Evans took money and credit cards from Berdebes’ purse and ran.
Several times that night, he tried to use Berdebes’ credit card at ATMs in Ormond Beach, Daytona Beach and South Daytona.
At least once, it was declined. He called the bank to try to gain authorization to use it, and the bank recorded his cell phone number.
Deputies checking surveillance video of the gas stations where Evans used the card noted the vehicle: a blue Ford Freestyle missing it front bumper, and registered to the mother of Berdebes’ former roommate Carisa Hall.
They found it in South Daytona, just two-tenths of a mile from the last gas station where Evans had tried to use the card.
Deputies arrested Evans and Hall on a charge of home-invasion robbery.
