Fishers Police have arrested an Indianapolis man in connection with an early Monday morning robbery at the 116th Street and Cumberland Road Kroger Store.

Corey D. Hooten, 47, is in the Hamilton County Jail facing felony counts of Theft and Robbery, plus misdemeanor charges of Resisting Law Enforcement and Possession of Paraphernalia.

Police say they responded to a report of a store employee being threatened by a man suspected of stealing merchandise, in the early morning hours of July 2nd.  The employee described the suspect for officers as a black male wearing an orange shirt and black pants. The suspect fled in a green Honda passenger car.

A Fishers officer observed a green Honda traveling on Brooks School Road and pulled the car over.  A man in the vehicle matched the description of the robbery suspect, and ran from the car.  A search involving multiple police agencies resulted in an apprehension of the suspect several hours later.
