CRANBERRY TWP — A Grove City man was arrested Friday after an alleged armed robbery outside an apartment complex on Dutilh Road.

Taquan D. Maxwell, 21, is facing felony charges of robbery, theft by unlawful taking and receiving stolen property, in addition to other charges, after he allegedly used a pellet gun to rob a woman who was cleaning her car in the apartment’s parking lot Friday night.

Cranberry Township police said Maxwell allegedly pointed the gun — later determined to be a pellet gun resembling a Walther pistol — at the woman’s ribs and demanded her money at about 8 p.m.

The woman, who police did not identify, screamed, causing Maxwell to threaten to shoot her if she did so again, police said.

The woman then gave him her cash and a credit card before he shoved her inside the hatch area of the vehicle. Maxwell allegedly also stole a cell phone from inside the vehicle before fleeing, police said.

A short time later, police in Jackson Township spotted a vehicle matching the description of Maxwell’s vehicle on Interstate 79. The vehicle exited the highway and was eventually pulled over in Harmony.

The officer ordered Maxwell from his vehicle and found the black pellet gun under the driver’s seat. Police said they found the victim’s cash and credit card in the vehicle, as well as clothing worn during the robbery, including pink heart-shaped sunglasses, in the car.

Maxwell was taken to Butler County Prison where he remains on $30,000 bail. He is also facing charges of unlawful restrain, terroristic threats, simple assault, harassment and driving with an unregistered vehicle.

A preliminary hearing has been scheduled for Friday before District Judge David Kovach.
