Prosecutor says seven Oklahomans responsible for Arkansas gem heist

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) – A federal prosecutor says seven Oklahomans were involved in a bold but quick 2015 jewelry store robbery in Little Rock, including two men arrested Monday.
U.S. Attorney Chris Thyer said Tuesday that 27-year-old Quinshod Shaw was arrested in Norman, Oklahoma, while 29-year-old Darris Denton was served with a warrant at a prison in Stringfield, Oklahoma. Both men are from Oklahoma City and have not yet had a court appearance in Arkansas. Five others were arrested previously, and two have pleaded guilty.
The robbers smashed numerous display cases in a matter of minutes, then abandoned their getaway truck at a church a block away. Blood recovered from glass shards led investigators to a suspect who has pleaded guilty, while DNA recovered from a hat in the abandoned truck led to another.
