BATON ROUGE - Police have arrested the second armed robber following an incident on Platt Drive.
According to the arrest report, on January 6 around 12:03 a.m. a man went to his backyard and was met by two armed men. The robbers were able to force the man back into his apartment.
At the time of the crime, there was also another person inside the residence.
Authorities say the victim was held at gunpoint while his apartment was searched. Before they fled the scene, the robbers stole the man's phone.
During the investigating, Mac Arthur Shaw and Darryl Rogers were identified as the robbers.
