Joshua Marquis Jones, 24, was charged with aggravated residential burglary, three counts of aggravated robbery and felony theft of property in the armed holdup April 16 at Greenwood Forest Apartments, 1602 Green Mountain Drive.

A man told police he was home with two friends when he answered a knock at his apartment door at 12:17 a.m., and three men rushed inside, held them at gunpoint and ransacked the home, according to a police report. The robbers took wallets, purses, car keys and several thousand dollars worth of electronics.

No injuries were reported.

Court records show an arrest warrant was issued for Jones on April 19.

Little Rock police and U.S. marshals arrested him about 11:10 p.m. Monday at Sturbridge Apartments at 1400 Old Forge Drive, according to an arrest report.

Authorities also arrested Letisha Dukes, 37, on a felony charge of hindering apprehension. An arrest report states that Dukes lied to authorities about Jones hiding at her residence.

Jones was being held in the Pulaski County jail late Tuesday.
