Sastavion Polk was charged with armed robbery, possession of a firearm by a felon, and possession of a stolen firearm. Lorenzo Oliver was charged with armed robbery. Both Polk and Oliver were transported to the Caddo Correctional Center to be booked on the aforementioned charges.

The third suspect, Charles Watson Jr., 31, was transported to the Caddo Correctional Center due to three outstanding warrants from Garrison County, Texas, which include charges for escape while arrested, confined felony, and evading arrest. Further charges are pending against him.

The investigation is ongoing.
