An armed robbery was reported at the B-Quik Food Store and Chevron gas station unit on East Lee Blvd. around 8 p.m. Friday night.
Deputy Darrell Holley of the Oktibbeha County Sheriff’s Department confirmed two suspects were involved in the robbery and were arrested soon after the call. 
“We had heard that supposedly it was a frat prank, supposedly, but we are not sure,” Holley said.
Front-counter cashier at the B Quik store, Garrett Dorman, said the actual robbery took place across the street from the gas station in a parking lot.
“Basically, around eight o’clock, a guy came in and said that he had just got robbed at gunpoint and asked if he could use the phone,” Dorman said. “He called the police, and then they came down. From what I gathered from the situation, the guy had been with one of his friends across the street.”
Dorman said upon arriving across the street, the individual who called the police exited the vehicle with his friend, and then two individuals with a pump-action shot gun appeared and requested that the individual who called the police get on the ground. 
“At first they took his wallet and his phone, but then they kept his phone and gave him back his wallet,” Dorman said. “I don’t know if they took the cash out or what. They told him to go, and they took his friend with them. The last I heard from what the police were trying to decide is whether it was a kidnapping, or if he got set up.”
