A pair of northern Illinois men are in custody in Pemiscott County, Missouri charged with robbing a Franklin County convenience story late Monday night.
Patrick Novak, 17, of Cook County and Anthony McKee, 25, of Will County, were arrested early Tuesday morning by officers from the Hayti Police Department, in southeast Missouri. The arrests in Missouri came only a few hours after two white males entered the Lake Zone Shell Station, located on Highway 37 approximately 6 miles north of Benton. At approximately 11 p.m. the pair entered the store and one male displayed a weapon and demanded cash from the clerk while the second male assisted with taking cash and other merchandise from the store.
Novak and McKee were stopped by Hayti police on an unrelated matter a few hours later and an investigation by the Benton police resulted in the pair being charged with armed robbery in connection with the heist at Lake Zone.
Illinois State Police Crime Scene Investigation assisted the Benton Police with evidence collection.
Both are currently being held at the Pemiscot County Justice Center on $500,000.00 bond for the offense of armed robbery.
