The Carlisle Police Department spotted Adams and made the arrest a day after Miller County issued an all-points bulletin.

Early in the morning of July 3, Miller County deputies were dispatched to Cotton Patch Liquor at 17446 U.S. 67 after a burglary was reported. Deputies determined someone had forced entry into the store. They also discovered a white Chevrolet pickup stuck in the mud nearby.

Video footage from the area showed two people wearing dark, hooded sweatshirts and shorts near the store about 4 a.m. There also was footage of the Chevrolet pickup, which investigators discovered was stolen June 30 from Little Rock.
