A man accused of snatching cash from a Macon convenience store was arrested Wednesday night at a Walmart.

Jaquize Johnson, 24, of Lowe Street in Macon was booked into the jail on charges of robbery and a probation violation after he was picked up just after 9 p.m. at the Harrison Road store, according to a release from the Bibb County Sheriff’s Office.
