Suspects arrested for crash-and-grab burglary at AR pharmacy

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Two West Memphis men were arrested and are now facing multiple charges in connection to the crash-and-grab burglary of a pharmacy earlier this month.

Erwin Bedford, 42, and Lawarren Holloway, 44, are accused of crashing their car into the Arkansas Care in Parkin, entering the pharmacy department, and taking prescription medication from the business on June 3.

The Crittenden County Sheriff’s Office executed search warrants on both of their homes. Deputies allegedly found evidence linking both men to the burglary. Bedford and Holloway were then taken into custody.

The sheriff’s office says that the two men are also facing various other charges related to the search of their homes.

Bedford was also charged with failure to comply with registration requirements of a convicted sex offender, felon in possession of a firearm, tampering with physical evidence, theft by receiving, and simultaneous possession of drugs and firearms.

His bond was set at $225,000, and a hold was placed on him for Cross County charges.

Holloway was charged with theft by receiving, possession of a controlled substance, and parole violation. A hold was also placed on him for Cross County on the burglary-related charges.

“I’m proud of the assistance of a tip from a citizen through Crittenden County Crime Stoppers and the excellent Detective work from both agencies to clear this Crime. Thanks to all for a job well done,” said Sheriff Mike Allen in a statement.
