Arrest made in Milledgeville armed robbery

Milledgeville police have charged a 20-year-old man with an April 27 armed robbery.

Levi Jones was arrested Thursday in the Walmart parking lot and charged with armed robbery, possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime and firearm possession by a convicted felon, according to a news release from the Milledgeville Police Department.

Jones and an unknown accomplice are accused of pulling a gun and taking $200 and a .380 pistol from a man late last month.

A warrant was issued for Jones, and a Baldwin County deputy spotted his 2000 Mazda Protégé in the shopping center parking lot before Thursday’s arrest.

Jones also is charged with drug possession after a significant amount of hydrocodone was found in the car.

Anyone with information about the second suspect is asked to call police Maj. Michael Hudson at 478-414-4075.
