Altoona Couple Arrested After Drug Deal Goes Wrong

An Altoona Couple are accused of armed robbery after police say a drug deal went wrong near Prospect Park. 35 year old Crystal Walls and 29 year old Brandon Silver, are now facing a long string of firearms and theft-related charges after a woman told police they took her money, and then gave her fake methamphetamine, before they forced her out of a vehicle at gunpoint. The victim reported $387 was stolen from her, and police say they found $372 on Silver, who they say then admitted to taking it from the victim’s purse and placing it in his wallet. Walls and Silver were arraigned Thursday. Neither one of them were able to post their $250,000 cash bails. Both of them are now in the Blair County Prison.
