NORWICH – Another of the co-defendants in a gang assault, robbery accepted a plea deal Monday that would allow her to plead to a misdemeanor, in exchange Jade T. Orlando agreed to continue cooperating with police.

The four defendants in the case, Orlando, 19, Landon T. Cummings, 21, Hunter J. Speenburgh, 19, and Brenden C. Gager, 18, were indicted with several violent felonies, including two counts of robbery, a gang assault and an assault.

According to Orlando, the defendants lured a 20-year-old victim into a violent ambush, stealing his valuables and leaving him semi-unconscious beneath a car with a fractured eye socket and a number of his teeth knocked out. The crime occurred at 110 Royal Ave in Norwich, at around 11:30 p.m. on Oct. 2, 2018.

Cummings and Orlando have taken plea deals and are cooperating with prosecutors. Both testified in court and indicated Gager was the main instigator and perpetrator of the violence.

District Attorney Michael Ferrarese said Orlando had been cooperative since her arrest and had willingly offered a statement to police the day she was apprehended, on Oct. 3, 2018, the day after the crime, offering investigators information about the case.

Orlando told the court she was not initially aware of the plan to rob the victim, saying she had been asked by another co-defendant, Gager, to help him find marijuana to buy, at about 7 p.m., Oct 2, 2018. About three hours before the crime took place.
