A Miramar man who was followed home and robbed by three armed men told police he recognized the robbers as guys he played pickup basketball with in Plantation and now one of them is behind bars.
Jamari Aquil Anglin, 19, was arrested Wednesday and charged with armed robbery, aggravated battery causing harm or disability, and criminal conspiracy, in addition to grand theft auto, records show.
