Two teens have been arrested for robbing two nine-year-old children at a lemonade stand.
 
According to the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Department, the children were selling lemonade at a stand within an apartment complex located on Livingston Ave on Wednesday.
 
Deputies said Deante Small, 18, and a 16-year-old, approached the children and ordered lemonade.
 
Deante Small:
 
A verbal argument started when one of the teens said they were not satisfied with the amount of lemonade poured in their cups.  
 
This angered one of the 9-year-old victims.  He threw a cup of lemonade at teens, according to deputies.
 
A police report states one of the teens pushed a 9-year-old to the ground.
 
The teens are accused of stealing an iPod and taking a cup of cash worth $13.53 and spending it at Walmart.
 
The teens ran but were later arrested by deputies.  They are charged with robbery, battery and petit theft.
