Store Clerk Helps Police Arrest Tulsa Robbery Suspect

Tulsa Police arrested one man and are looking for another in connection to two robberies. William Henry Fox III was booked on complaints of robbery by force, felony larceny of merchandise and felony DUI 7th offense.

Authorities said Fox and another man robbed the Dollar General at 51st and Memorial and assaulted a clerk around 5:30 p.m. Saturday, June 10. 

They got away with a trash can filled with merchandise, a report states. The clerk was able to provide a description of the suspect vehicle, a blue Ford Expedition.
