Early Thursday morning area law enforcement, including Henry County Sheriff’s deputies and Mount Pleasant Police, were involved in the apprehension of four individuals involved in a robbery at a Burlington Bar.
At about 1 am February 10th Burlington police officers were called to The Outpost Bar & Grill, 2505 Mt. Pleasant Street to investigate a reported burglary.
Apparently, at least two individuals entered the business armed with handguns. An undisclosed amount of cash was taken from the register. Personal property was also taken from patrons and an employee.
The suspects vehicle was located near Mt. Pleasant and Roosevelt Avenue but the driver refused to stop and instead continued to speed over 100 mph until it was stopped with stop sticks in the 3100 block of County Road 79.
The four occupants of the vehicle attempted to flee on foot and two juveniles were detained. The other two were arrested later by the Lee County Sheriff’s deputies near Denmark. 18-year-old Noah Christopher Scott and 22 Samuel-Evon Christopher Robert McCoy, as well as two unidentified juveniles, all of Keokuk, are charged with multiple counts of First Degree Robbery, and Conspiracy to Commit a Forcible felony. No injuries were reported and two firearms were seized.
