Man, juvenile arrested in Walmart robbery

Police arrested a man and a boy in connection with a robbery at Walmart Monday, according to police records.

Justing Kenneth Vicente, 21, of St. Cambridge Arms Building 1, Apt. E in Fayetteville, was arrested Monday in connection with robbery.

The boy was released on juvenile citation to the custody of his parents, according to Keith Foster, public information officer for the Rogers Police Department.

Foster said the two stole headphones and, when approached by Walmart officials, handed the headphones back, pushed the Walmart employees and fled.

The two were caught by police a short distance from the store, according to a police log.

Because the two used force in shoving the employees, Foster said, the incident escalated from shoplifting to robbery.

Vicente was released Tuesday from the Benton County Jail on a $2,500 bond.
