Washington Man To Stand Trial For Theft

A Washington man will face a felony robbery charge for his alleged robbery of the Family Dollar store on Highland Avenue back in November. Arthur Harris, 60 is accused of directing the manager of the store to go to the cash register and give him $50 while holding his hand in the pocket of a hoodie making her believe he had a gun. Arthur took all $141 of the money in the register and fled in a black Chevrolet Cruise. The manager of the store was able to identify Harris when given an eight picture line up of possible perpetrators. Harris appeared for the preliminary hearing via video from the Washington County Jail where he is being held on charges of terroristic threats and simple assault unrelated to this case. Arthur is scheduled for arraignment on the robbery charge on April 28.
