According to the Miami-Dade Police Department’s arrest report, Robinson was riding late Tuesday afternoon in the back seat of a vehicle driven by Lakeith Stafford, a teammate of Robinson’s at Miami Northwestern High School, as well as an unnamed co-defendant.
The vehicle stopped, and the unnamed co-defendant got out of the front passenger seat and approached a man with a firearm, demanding the victim’s gold bracelet, the report said. The co-defendant forcibly removed the bracelet and re-entered the vehicle, which left the area, the report stated. The Miami-Dade Tactical Narcotics Units later spotted the vehicle at 9105 NW 25th St. with Robinson and Stafford still inside, according to the report.
The unnamed defendant was still at large at the time Robinson’s arrest report was prepared. Stafford was charged with three counts of armed robbery with a firearm or deadly weapon, according to the Miami-Dade Corrections Web site, and has not been given bond.
The report said Robinson was read his Miranda rights and gave a written statement saying they were “just playing around.” Robinson was then taken to the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center.
This is why I never take the parents at their word when they respond to stuff like this. What's he going to say? "Who knows, my son might have done it."

No idea of the context of "just playing around".
JoJo saying they were "just playing around" makes it look worse IMO. From that report, I inferred that the context of it was essentially "we didn't mean to rob the guy" or "we weren't going to hurt him for bracelet."

From what I gather, the driver of the car is arrested as an accomplish for, well, driving the car.
The unnamed guy is the guy who had the gun and did the robbery.
JoJo was in the back seat at the time, whether he was in on it isn't clear, if he didn't get out of the car, then he should be able to get out of this deal.
Why he was still in the car is a simple as the unnamed guy wasn't in the car at the time of the arrest and is still at large.
If the other two booted him out afterwards they did "separate themselves from the situation" like many would expect.
I've watched a lot of Matlock, this is an open shut case with a surprise witness.
