About 24 hours after two shots were fired in a stickup on the Middle Georgia State University campus, a Macon man was arrested.

Justin Levi Woodall, 23, was booked into the Bibb County Law Enforcement Center about 4 p.m. Wednesday, according to jail records. Among the charges against him are armed robbery, aggravated assault and carrying a weapon within a school safety zone.

Woodall, of a Stinsonville Road address, is accused of robbing someone trying to sell a cellphone, authorities said.

The robbery happened after 3:30 p.m. Tuesday after the two agreed to meet in a parking lot that overlooks Interstate 475, campus police Chief Shawn Douglas told The Telegraph.

A Knight alert was sent to all Macon campus students and employees informing them of the emergency.
