...robbery, in which two teen victims were relieved of $40. Iler pleaded not guilty to two charges of second-degree robbery and was released on $2,500 bond. Police said Iler had a bag of marijuana and a bong in his pocket at the time of his arrest. HBO released a statement saying Iler will be welcomed back to his fictional crime family with open arms.
