A Buckingham man was arrested Wednesday in connection with a robbery on East High Street that occurred early Sunday morning.
Ryan Edward Davis Dean, 19, was arrested in Charlottesville and charged with robbery, use of a firearm in commission of a felony and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.
The robbery occurred at 1 a.m., Lt. Ronnie Roberts said. A Charlottesville man was walking in the 1500 block of East High Street when he was approached by two men. One of the men pulled a handgun and demanded the victim’s backpack. After taking the backpack, the suspects ran away.
“We’re still looking for the second suspect in the case,” Roberts said.
