A suspect in the armed robbery at Logan’s One Stop in Nicholson has been arrested.
According to a press release from the Pearl River County Sheriff’s Department, the robbery occurred Wednesday night around 9:30. The release states Michael J. McCormick, 19, of 131-B Daisy Lane, Nicholson, entered the store acting as if he was going to make a purchase. He then proceeded to give a note to the cashier stating that he was armed and demanded cash.
Maj. Eric Rocker of the Sheriff’s Department said that McCormick never actually pulled out a weapon, but just that the note said he was armed.
According to the release, the cashier gave McCormick an undisclosed amount of cash and McCormick ran out of the store on foot. No one was injured during the incident.
Deputies searched the area Wednesday night, but were unable to locate the suspect. They found him Thursday morning walking on Shorty Burgess Road. He was arrested and charged with one count of armed robbery.
McCormick’s bond will be set on Friday when he is scheduled to appear before a Justice Court judge.
