WICHITA – A 26-year-old man and 22-year-old woman arrested in Wichita after a police chase have been charged in federal court with robbing a Subway restaurant

David B. Johnson and Brittany R. Holt are charged with one count of robbery. In addition, Johnson is charged with one count of unlawful possession of a firearm after a felony conviction.

The feds are alleging that on Jan. 28, Johnson ordered two sandwiches at the Subway shop at 343 S. Greenwich in Wichita. When the clerk rang up the order, Johnson refused to pay, pointed a gun at the clerk and demanded money from the register. He left the store and got into a vehicle Holt was driving.

A Sedgwick County Sheriff’s Deputy attempted to stop the couple’s vehicle, but they fled, leading law enforcement officers on a 31-minute chase at speeds up to 100-miles-per-hour.

Investigators later learned Johnson and Holt met about four months ago in Topeka and began a love affair. They traveled together through Kansas and lived in Texas for about a month.

If convicted, they each face a maximum penalty of 20-years in federal prison and a fine up to $250,000 on the robbery charge. The firearms charge carries a maximum penalty of 10-years and a fine up to $250,000.
