18 year old Quincy Lashawn Holmes of Brooksville faces charges in connection with the armed robbery of M & M Grocery.

He was arrested at a traffic stop on Main Street in East Columbus.

Apparently somebody got a good look at his vehicle Wednesday night.

He reportedly had a gun, and a bandanna pulled over his face, and demanded cash.

Police say he ransacked the cash register and cigarette display.

They think he made off with cash at smokes.
