SPRINGDALE -- Three teenagers were arrested in connection with armed robbery at a liquor store Thursday.
A 16-year-old male was arrested in connection with aggravated robbery and being a minor in possession of a firearm and fleeing on foot.
German Gonzalez-Carrasquillo, 18, and a 17-year-old male were arrested in connection with being an accomplice to an aggravated robbery and fleeing on foot, according to a news release issued by Lt. Jeff Taylor with the Springdale Police Department.
Springdale police went to Fiesta Liquor, 3424 E. Robinson Ave., at 4:50 p.m. Thursday. Officers were told an employee confronted the three when they tried to leave without paying for liquor and one of them pulled out a handgun. All three ran north from the store, Taylor said.
"Responding officers were able to quickly set up a perimeter and with the help of a couple of Washington County deputies in the area were able to apprehend all three males without incident," Taylor said.
Gonzalez-Carrasquillo of 914 S.E. Falcon Lane No. 10 in Bentonville was in the Washington County Detention Center on a $7,500 bond Friday evening.
Police didn't identify the juveniles. The two are from Benton County, according to Taylor.
