An initial report of a home invasion robbery in Sammamish turned out to be a drug deal gone bad.
Samuel Paul Hammitt, 19, and Antonio Felipe McClure, 21, were charged Wednesday with first degree robbery and unlawful possession of a fire arm, after they allegedly robbed seven people, according to the charging papers.
Police are also looking for two women, ages 18 and 19, who were involved.
No one was injured in the incident, but one of the two men reportedly fired a .38-caliber handgun at a couch to prove it was real.
The victim told police he has a prescription for medical marijuana, and often sells cannabis to other card carriers, according to the papers.
He admitted to selling McClure the drugs once in Renton, but swore off dealing with him anymore, because he paid with counterfeit money.
However, McClure’s friend called to setup a deal, and four people, including McClure, met with him at a Bellevue store Oct. 10.
The suspects asked for more drugs than he had, and he agreed to take them to his Sammamish apartment, 700 block of 240th Way Southeast., where he had more marijuana.
There were six other people inside the apartment when the victim arrived. They recommenced their deal with more marijuana on the table, but began to argue when the suspects tried to pay with more counterfeit money.
Pulling out three handguns and a taze gun, the suspects then ordered everyone to the ground and announced a robbery, acording to the papers.
Two of the victims claimed the guns weren’t real either, and began struggling with the suspects. One of the women allegedly hit a victim on the head with the gun, causing him to bleed.
When they stopped fighting, one of the suspects fired a gun at a sofa, according to the papers.
Everyone in the apartment was forced to their stomachs, and several people were robbed of cell phones, cash and the marijuana.
As the four fled, a victim wrote down the license-plate number of McClure’s red Mazda Protege. They were arrested Oct. 14.
After searching McClure’s car and bedroom, police found what appeared to be a working AR-15 styled rifle, similar to a police assault gun, and two handguns.
The .38-caliber handgun has yet to be recovered.
McClure has a juvenile record that included attempted robbery, burglary and theft. His bail was set at $150,000.
Hammitt was convicted for violating a no-contact order and trespassing. His bail was set at $100,000.
