Lawrence police arrested an Ottawa man Wednesday suspected of kidnapping and the robbery of a Lawrence apartment.
Kim Murphree, a police spokesman, wrote in an email that the 23-year-old man was located in Ottawa, brought by the Lawrence Police Department to the police training center during the investigation, and arrested.
According to Douglas County Jail records, the suspect is charged with four counts of kidnapping, three counts of robbery and one count of aggravated robbery. The charges stem from a robbery reported January 10, in which four men robbed an apartment in the Applecroft Apartments at 1734 W. 19th St.
The men took cell phones, mar-
That suspect returned January 10, and when Hartwell heard a knock at the door, the 19-year-old said more of his friends had come
"I don't know for sure if they did, but they said they did and it looked like they had them." Hartwell said. "When it's in the moment, you just don't question it."
Hartwell said he and his roommates knew the 19-year-old man first arrested by police because he had come over before.
Hartwell heard his friend, who owned the safe, being hit by the suspects while another man stayed with the other four victims.
"They started beating him because he wouldn't open the safe." Hartwell said. "Eventually he did though."
As soon as the men entered, all four suspects began yelling and some appeared to have guns.
Hartwell and the others were forced to stay in the bathroom until the men left, and were left without a way to contact the police, because the robbers had taken their cell phones and torn up
casn, most or which was located in a safe.
They walked to a gas station and called the police.
"They were yelling, 'we want all your stuff,'" Hartwell said. "They said, 'we have guns, we will kill you."
Another resident felt Applecroft Apartments should have notified residents of the robbery.
"It's pretty safe here usually," said Danielle Garcia, a University graduate. "But I think they should have notified us, because when something happens, you should be put on alert."
Mack Hartwell, a 19-year-old former University student and victim in the case, was not aware of the second arrest, but recalled the robbery.
It was the second arrest made in the case. The LPD arrested a 19-year-old Ottawa man hours after the robbery.
The owners of the apartments declined to comment on the case.
Hartwell thinks the remaining suspects will also be arrested, but said he will remain more attentive.
"I will definitely check out whoever comes over from now on." Hartwell said. "I'm just going to be more careful."

choreographed dance routines and build sets. Some parts of the preparation start even before the fall semester. Around 12 pairs of fraternities and sororites compete in the fall to make it into the final show, but only five are selected.
Then the process becomes even more intense; each group practices is at least an hour per day, which makes it difficult to have a life outside of Rock Chalk.
“It's like you put everything into this,” said Hannah Schoeb, a sophomore from Leawood and one of the six directors of Delta Delta Delta and Sigma Nu's show. "I mean, I still did fine in school, but I got an A- and I'm a perfectionist. I've put a lot of my friendships on hold and my relationships on hold."

"I'm from out-of-state and I was fairly new to the house and the community, so I figured it would be a good way to get to know people," Morrison said. "It turned out to be an awesome experience."
Kirk Morrison, a sophomore from Tulsa, Okla., first participated in Rock Chalk as a freshman as a way to branch out.
I'm going to be even more nervous because I'm a director and there's even more pressure," Henzlik said.
Rock Chalk Revue is on March 1 and 2 at 7 p.m. and March 3 at 5 p.m. at the Lied Center. Tickets are available at the Lied Center box office and website.
