Durell White and Andre Valentine, alleged robbers, foiled by manual transmission

Valentine can't drive a stick.

Durell D. White, 20, and Andre D. Valentine, 23, have each been charged with one count of first-degree robbery and one count of armed criminal action after being arrested in connection with a Brookside robbery that occurred in the early hours of Friday, May 28.

Two victims, a man and a woman, told a Kansas City Police Department detective that they were walking back to their cars, parked at the north end of the Charlie Hooper's parking lot, when White and Valentine approached them from behind and demanded money.

As the man handed over his wallet, one of the robbers hit him in the head with his handgun, then punched and kicked him as he lay on the ground. The woman handed over her purse, cell phone and car keys while also being beaten and kicked.

One of the attackers allegedly attempted to start the woman's car, then yelled, "It's a fucking stick!"

D. White can't drive a stick either.

​According to the probable cause statement from the KCPD, "Suspect #2

got out of the vehicle because he could not operate a manual

transmission and a safety device exists on the vehicle requiring the

clutch to be fully depressed to engage the motor."


At that point, the robbers demanded that the woman give them a ring that was still on her finger, the statement reads. When she refused, she was pistol-whipped and kicked in the face on the ground until she lost consciousness, according to her statement. The suspects took off running.

The victims were taken to Research Hospital, where the man required two staples to close a cut on the back of his head. The woman sustained three fractures to her head, a fractured nose, a severely fractured jaw and a fractured vertebrae.

Detectives reviewed the surveillance tape at an Express Mart store at 7007 Longview Road, where one of the victim's credit cards had reportedly been used, and a witness identified Valentine from the video. Both victims identified Valentine as the robber who'd beaten and robbed the female victim. The male victim identified White through a photo spread as the man who'd robbed and beaten him.

Actually, they just got probation and the younger kid is most likely innocent.. just another victim of mistaken identity. Sorry JimBob, no man on man action for you to fantasize about here :)
This kid comes from a good family, where his Mother and Father were very present during this ordeal, they are pleasant, well mannerred, and educated. They aren't what you all are making them out to be and it makes me wonder who the ignorant ones are.
And for the rest of you, I had Mr. White on house arrest pending trial and he is a good kid. Didn't deserve what they put him through at all. I'd hire this kid in a heartbeat.
Also, on another note- if you all are so worried about black kids without Fathers robbing you- DO something about it. Be part of the solution, not the problem. Big Brothers Big Sisters is always looking for "Bigs".

I'm impressed that either one of these sissy looking punks could whip a girl, much less her boyfriend. Peices of shit is right! They must have used a weapon cuz I'm pretty sure my wife and I could stomp a mudhole in those pussies.

Your brother is a piece of shit! I wouldn't expect him to get a job though b/c he can't even drive a stick shift. There's nothing to it really. It wasn't assumed that his father wasn't around JUST b/c he is black. That assumption was made b/c he's obviouly an idiot lacking guidance. My boys won't grow up and behave like that and neither did I. My dad was there to whip my ass and make me work every summer. What were these menaces to society doing in the summers of their high school years? Selling drugs, stealing cars and wallets, what? I bet it wasn't working!

FIRST of all that is my brother and our father was and is around, why is it because hes black his father must have been absent? and also our father and myself know how to drive a stick very well but MAJORITY of america's population does not!!! and if u DUMB A** PEOPLE actually knew ALL the details of this particular case you would know that theres ALOT of evidence that is tainted and will be thrown out but since u only can read what u have access to i guess ur ignorance is to be expected!!! and i hope the woman and man who where robbed make a full recovery because i wouldnt wish what happend to them on my worst enemy

Another good example of why fathers ARE important in the home. A few lessons of how to operate the clutch in concert with the stick could have really helped in this situation. Men, step up and stay with your children. They need you.

You would have thought, as children, their fathers would have taught them to steal manual cars too.
When it comes to Charlie Hooper's, there's nothing better than watching a couple of frat boys getting riled up. It starts like this:
Sigma Chi says, "Uh, you're a Sigma NU- hah, I'm better than you."
Sigma Nu says, "What are you besides gay?"
Sigma Chi, "I'm a Sigma Chi at MU. My dad has a BMW."
Sigma Nu, "Oh yeah, well my dad drives a truck. A semi- and it costs more than your dad's BMW. And quit doubling down on the Polo shirts. You look douche."
Sigma Chi, "Well, well, well, you are a douche."
And the fight begins. Now who doesn't like that? A couple of fruitcakes slapping each other and tearing up their Affliction shirts.

Then the thugs come in and bring guns- nice work fellas. Way to ruin it for the rest of us.

Well fellas, looks like Old Bubba is going to be driving another type of stick for you very soon in prison. I just wish there was swift and speedy justice, and the likes of these two "winners" will never be seen or heard from again.

I pray that this young lady makes a fast recovery.
