GRAND TRAVERSE CO. -- Deputies have arrested the man they say is responsible for an unarmed robbery at the Walgreens on US-31 in April.

28-year-old Joshua Bradlee Jarosz was arrested yesterday and charged with unarmed robbery and resisting and obstructing police.

The robbery took place in April when the suspect walked into the Walgreens wearing nylons over his head and armed with a crowbar.

Witnesses told 7&4 News that he walked out of the store with cigarettes and cash.

Grand Traverse County Sheriff Deputies were quickly on the scene and with guns drawn used a tracking dog to follow a trail up a hill behind the drug store and into the woods.

Jarosz was arraigned today.
