A man that was already in custody has now been charged with an armed robbery that occurred in January in Henry County. On January 13, the Henry County Sheriff’s Office released information regarding an armed robbery that occurred on Sunday, January 11,  at approximately 10:40 pm at the 5 Point Tobacco store located at 1620 Virginia Avenue in Martinsville.

During that incident, an unidentified male entered the business, produced a knife, and demanded money from the clerk before leaving with an undisclosed amount of cash.

On February 25, as a result of continued investigative efforts by the Henry County Sheriff’s Office Criminal Investigations Division, investigators identified and arrested Tyson Stockton, 28, as the individual believed to be responsible for this robbery.

Stockton was arrested on Saturday in reference to an abduction and rape investigation. He now faces an additional charge of robbery.
