Teen accused of armed robbery while giving ride

An 18-year-old Little Rock man is accused of pulling a gun on a man while giving him a ride, authorities said.

Malik Eady was arrested Tuesday night on charges of theft of property, theft by receiving and aggravated robbery, police records show.

Little Rock police say Eady was giving the 25-year-old victim a ride when he pulled out a gun and robbed the victim of his iPhone in the 1800 block of South Battery Street.

The victim took down the car's license plate number and called authorities.

A police report says Eady was arrested minutes later when police stopped his car and pulled him over near his residence in the 2800 block of South State Street.

Police say they recovered the phone and a stolen handgun.

Eady remained in the Pulaski County jail Wednesday morning with bail not yet set.
