WHITE PLAINS – Three men have been charged in a federal indictment in connection with the vicious beating and robbery of a man in New City in February 2021.
Wayne Hicks, Brian Thomas, and Jordan Woodbine are the latest to have been charged in the case.
Dwayne Hicks and Tnaiya Williams were previously sentenced to prison for participating in a conspiracy to commit robbery.
On February 28, 2021, after a marijuana dealer who worked for Wayne Hicks was robbed, Hicks contacted his brother Dwayne Hicks to arrange retribution.
The victim was lured to a residence in New City where he was viciously attacked.
The assailants forced the victim to strip naked, stole his belongings, including marijuana the assailants believed the victim had stolen, then beat him with a baseball bat, belts, and their hands and feet, and repeatedly slashed and stabbed him with a large knife.
The victim ultimately fled, after being left naked and covered in blood, in a pile of snow.
