17-year old Keith Brian Russell is charged with Robbery—a Class-2 Felony; and resisting arrest.
Police were called out to the WalMart parking lot to a report of a theft, just after 8:30 pm.
Corporal Seth Klehm was en route to the scene when he saw a young man matching the suspect’s description. Klehm says the suspect began running and avoided authorities—including the department’s K9.
SergeantLloyd Powell recovered the suspect’s bicycle and backpack. Several store employees say they watched the suspect leave the store without paying for several items.
When confronted, the employees say Russell hit one of them in the face and fled.
Just moments later Powell received a call that the bicycle and backpack had just been reported stolen—by Russell, the suspect in the case.
Authorities then met with Russell, who was arrested and taken to the Washington County Jail.
