Lonnie Hamilton Jr., 34, turned himself in Tuesday evening at the urging of family members, according to a news release from the Lafayette County sheriff's office. A warrant for his arrest in the robbery had been issued earlier.

Hamilton is charged with armed robbery. The amount of money Hamilton will be accused of taking is still undetermined, a sheriff's official said Wednesday.

A sheriff's official did not know Wednesday whether bail had been set for Hamilton.

The investigation and Hamilton's arrest were the result of "joint efforts" by the Arkansas State Police, Lewisville and Stamps police departments, the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission, and the FBI.
