Two Arrested in Pittsburg for Armed Robbery

 

Two are arrested after an armed robbery in Pittsburg.

 

Late last week, Pittsburg Police officers were on patrol when they observed a white male running down an alley before entering a waiting vehicle. At the same time dispatch received a call that a convenience store had just been robbed. After a short pursuit, the male, identified as 29-year-old Benjamin Lewis, ran from the vehicle and attempted to hide under a house. The driver of the vehicle, identified as 27-year-old Cheyenne McNaught, was detained. Both were transported to the Crawford County Jail.

 

Lewis is booked for aggravated robbery, possession of drug paraphernalia, obstruction of the legal process and a no-bond warrant from the Kansas Department of Corrections for previous aggravated robbery charges. McNaught is being held in lieu of a $75,000 bond.
