Two men arrested in armed robbery of Franklin County store

Ottawa police arrested two men Friday evening following an armed robbery at a Princeton convenience store, according to a release from the Franklin County Sheriff’s Office.

Around 10 p.m., an employee at the Quik Shop, 1445 Highway 59, reported that the store had been robbed at gunpoint of $1,200 by two white men, who fled in a silver car.

Ottawa police later stopped a vehicle on Interstate 35 that matched the suspect car, and arrested three people, one of whom was later released.

The two arrested — William Pope, 31, Garnett, and Dalton Dunnagan, 22, Mound City — were booked into the Franklin County Jail on charges of aggravated robbery and felony theft. Both are being held on a $75,000 bond.
