CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The jury trial began Friday for a man accused of using prostitutes to lure victims into hotel rooms and rob them.
Federal investigators said Jeronza Thorne committed the armed robberies at hotels in the Sugar Creek Road and Interstate 85 corridor.
According to court records, federal agents arrested Thorne in 2013 after undercover agents set him and two other men up on a fake home invasion of a drug stash house.
The trial continues next week.
