An Arkansas man was arrested Thursday night on accusations he robbed a central Arkansas Dollar General last year.

Jerrod Marquez Craven, 21, of Russellville, was arrested around 7:40 p.m. Thursday and charged with aggravated robbery and theft of property obtained by threat of serious physical injury, according to a Pulaski County sheriff’s office arrest report.

Authorities said phone records and a co-defendant’s statement show that Craven was at the Dollar General on 2001 Military Road in Jacksonville when it was robbed the night of Nov. 30, 2016. The identity of the co-defendant was not listed in the report.

Authorities said at the time of the robbery that two people took more than $2,000 from the store and locked the store employees in the bathroom. One of the robbers carried a handgun, police said.

A March 28 court date has been set for Craven.
