A second arrest has been made in connection with the armed robbery that occurred on Friday night in the 1000 block of Washington Avenue in Huntington, West Virginia. According to Huntington Police Chief Phil Watkins, officers apprehended the second suspect late Saturday at a nearby location after following up on witness reports. Both suspects are believed to have participated in a coordinated effort to rob a pedestrian at gunpoint. Authorities have not disclosed if the firearm used was legally owned or stolen, but confirmed it was recovered during the investigation. This shows the effectiveness of quick community reporting combined with surveillance and investigative follow-through, said Watkins. Additional details are expected in the coming days as formal charges are filed.
