An 18-year-old man was arrested Thursday night for his alleged role in robbing the Dollar General on New Boston Road, according to Texarkana, Texas, Police Department's Facebook page.
Malik Warren, 18, of Texarkana Texas, was arrested on an aggravated robbery charge Thursday evening.
He is one of two men allegedly involved in the robbery of a business in the 2300 block of New Boston Road minutes before.
Officers were dispatched to the report of a robbery at the Dollar General store at 8:34 p.m. Thursday, according to the post.
"The employees and witnesses told officers that two men came into the business and approached them while demanding money. While one of the men stayed with the witnesses, the other escorted one of the clerks to the register. He displayed a pistol and had the clerk remove money from the register. Both men then fled the store on foot with an undisclosed amount of cash and were last seen running east," the post states.
"Minutes later, Officers Colton Johnson and Zierre Spencer located Warren walking near the intersection of Jerome and King streets, which is about six blocks from the Dollar General store. He was wearing clothing that matched that of one of the robbery suspects, and they noticed that he was breathing hard as if he had recently been running. Johnson and Spencer determined that Warren had participated in the robbery moments before and arrested him for aggravated robbery," according to the post
Warren was transported to the Bi-State Jail without incident, where he remained in custody Friday morning. A bond has not yet been set.
Detectives are still working to identify the second suspect in the robbery.
