Stitts' wallet was left at the scene and witnesses detained him when he went back to retrieve it. When questioned by police, Stitts gave officers a fake name and also gave officers the name of his accomplice, according to Sgt. Kenny Oldham.
Stitts, 19, was arrested on charges of attempted robbery and obstruction of government operations after Monday night's incident, while the 16-year-old was charged Tuesday with attempted robbery and turned over to juvenile authorities, Oldham said.
Craighead County District Judge Keith Blackman on Tuesday ordered Stitts held in lieu of $2,500 bond. Blackman set an April 29 court date for Stitts.
Police say the juvenile scouted an area to which to lure a Dragon City delivery man, then punched the delivery man in the face after he arrived. The younger teen, to whom Stitts had given his wallet, dropped the billfold when the delivery man sped away, police say.
