Sumter police say both men are accused of shooting 31-year-old Chester "Rock" Stavis to death during a "robbery gone wrong." An autopsy revealed he died from a gunshot wound to the upper body.

Stavis' body was found in a waterway near Dicks and Rast streets on November 21, 2018, after he was reported missing by family.

Pollard is additionally charged with possession of a weapon during a violent crime. Bond was not during first court appearances Saturday morning. Both are awaiting circuit court at the Sumter-Lee Regional Detention Center.
