Marqavion Williams, 18, was arrested and charged with six counts, including armed robbery. The 16-year-old girl was arrested but has not been charged.

When police searched the ceiling area, they found clothing, a mask and a gun. According to the complaint, Williams told officers he planned the robbery because he "needed money for a car." He also admitted he stole the gun from his grandfather.

Williams had his preliminary hearing March 28. Court documents indicate the case will move forward to trial.
