Investigators have identified a second suspect in the robbery of a grocery store.

J.W. "Wayne" Riggins, 32, is wanted in connection with the armed robbery of Babe's Corner Grocery and Deli Tuesday morning.

Witnesses told detectives that a masked man walked into the store around 10:15, jumped the counter, grabbed cash and ran for the door.  He then jumped into the back of a pickup, which sped off.  A witness was able to get the license plate number of the truck.

John Shelton, 22, was arrested about two hours after the robbery.  He has been charged with principal to armed robbery.

Authorities believe there may have been another person inside the pickup at the time of the robbery.

If you know where Riggins is, or can identify the other person inside the truck, call Crime Stoppers at 344-STOP.
