    PIGEON FORGE — The suspects in an armed robbery at a local resort all come from Whittier and Cherokee, N.C., according to their arrest warrants.

    The suspects allegedly used a firearm to rob a woman inside a room at the Cold Creek Resort Saturday, according to police.

    Hannah Faye Calhoun, 25; Amber Sherice Crowe, 23, and Josh Edward Crowe, 21, gave addresses in Cherokee, according to warrants, while Jerilyn May Jackson, 23, and John Wesley Raby, 24, are listed as coming from Whittier. All five now face charges of aggravated armed robbery.

    Police say the group of them went to a room in the resort, where they gained entry because the victim knew Jackson and let her into the room. Raby, Amber Crowe and Josh Crowe entered the room wearing bandanas or ski masks over their faces; Josh Crowe allegedly brandished a firearm.

    There were several people in the room, according to the warrant, but they took money from one woman in particular and left the scene. Calhoun was allegedly the driver.

    All five are being held at the Sevier County Jail in lieu of $20,000 bond.
