Earle has learned the suspects -- a 15-year-old male, a 16-year-old female and an 18-year-old female -- will be charged as adults with robbery and assault.
“I didn’t hear anything about that in here,” one shopper said on Monday. “Times are getting bad out here. It’s getting worse and worse.”
The victim had to go to an area hospital and have his eyes flushed out. Officials say he’s doing better.
“That’s terrible. That’s terrible,” another customer said. “I can’t believe people would even have the audacity to do something like that.”
