NORTH WEBSTER -ÊTwo teens were arrested Sunday for allegedly robbing a pizza delivery man Saturday night in North Webster.

Andrew Mitchell Shoemaker, 19, of 7863 E. CR 500N, Leesburg, was booked into the Kosciusko County Jail at 9:38 p.m. Sunday for robbery while armed. His bond was set at $10,000.

A 17-year-old male also was arrested for robbery Sunday, but his name was not released.

Richard Walls, an employee of Pizza King, went to a residence at Blacks Court Trailer Park in North Webster Saturday night to make a delivery. Once at the residence, Walls was hit in the head with an unknown object and his money bag was taken.

Walls suffered a cut to the head and was treated at Kosciusko Community Hospital before being released.

Around 7 p.m. Sunday, the Kosciusko County Sheriff's Department received a call from an unidentified source who had information about the armed robbery.

According to the source, Shoemaker and the 17-year-old were at a gathering Saturday night and allegedly said they robbed a pizza delivery man.

The pair then reportedly split the money and gave part of it to a 16-year-old male.

Deputies went to the 16-year-old's home and talked with the boy, who then turned over money given to him by Shoemaker and the 17-year-old.

The 16-year-old boy cooperated and gave a statement to the police about the details of the robbery.

The incident remains under investigation by the Kosciusko County Sheriff's Department.

The sheriff's department was assisted in the investigation by the North Webster Police Department.
