Tulsa Police Search For Robbery Suspect, Another Arrested After Chase

Tulsa Police are looking for a suspect in an overnight armed robbery at a convenience store near 31st Street and Harvard.

Police said the robber had a gun when he walked into Fiesta Mart just before 2:30 a.m. Tuesday morning.

A short time later, officers saw a car fitting the suspect’s vehicle description driving unusually. Police said they chased after the vehicle until the driver, Devan Whitehead, pulled into someone's driveway, jumped out, and took off running.

They caught up with him about a block away as he was breaking into the crawlspace of someone’s house. A police dog was used to take him into custody, but detectives said they looked at surveillance video and spoke with witnesses to determine this was not the robbery suspect.

Whitehead is still headed to jail for other complaints, including felony eluding. His passenger, Kameron Bassett. who stayed put during the foot chase was arrested on an outstanding warrant.

Officers are still searching for the original robbery suspect.
