After an investigation, officers arrested Hollis and the juvenile, whose name has not been released, on Tuesday (Nov. 19).
Hollis admitted to officers that he participated in the robbery with the juvenile and Dent. He also confirmed that Dent fired the pistol during the robbery.
According to an arrest report, Hollis and Dent told officers that the juvenile planned the robbery and asked them to assist in the crime because of the number of victims.
