24-year-old man arrested in Staples armed robbery case
STAPLES — A 24-year-old man was arrested Friday in Grafton, N.D., on first-degree aggravated robbery that took place Jan. 25 at the Staples Self Serve Station, reported Staples Police Chief Doug Case.
Joshua James McKenna, who has no permanent address, is currently in the Wadena County Jail waiting for his first court appearance.
Case said Staples officers acted on a tip concerning the robbery and law enforcement officers from the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, Central Minnesota Violent Offenders Task Force, Crookston Police Department, North Dakota Bureau Criminal Investigation, Grafton Police Department and Walsh County Sheriffs Department assisted by searching three residences in Crookston, Grafton, N.D., and Adams, N.D.
Case said the incident is still under investigation and an additional arrest is possible.
The Wadena County Attorney’s Office, and the Wadena and Todd counties sheriffs departments also assisted with the investigation.
Staples police responded to the Jan. 25 incident of a white man in his 20s or 30s who entered Staples Self Serve brandishing a handgun and demanding money. The suspect did not discharge the handgun and no one was hurt. The suspect took an undisclosed amount of money before fleeing from the store. The suspect fled on foot and then drove off in a vehicle with North Dakota license plates.
