UPDATE: Iowa City police have arrested an 18-year-old man for his alleged role in an armed robbery last month.
According to police, Daveon Curry, address unknown, was an outside lookout during a Feb. 22 robbery at Creekside Market on Highway 6.
Over the weekendm Curry was arrested and charged with assault with a dangerous weapon (joint criminal conduct), robbery in the first degree (joint criminal conduct) and going armed with intent (joint criminal conduct).
At least one other man was involved in the robbery. Store surveillance footage shows a man leaping over the counter and putting the store clerk in a choke hold while holding a knife to her throat. That man has not been arrested. It's not clear if a third man, who was also inside the store at the time of the robbery, was involved or faces any charges if found.
First degree robbery is a class B felony in the state of Iowa, punishable by up to 25 years in prison.
Curry is being held at the Johnson County jail on a $70 thousand cash only bond.
