(KAIR)--A 25-year-old Saint Joseph, Missouri woman becomes the second arrest made in connection with the alleged forced theft of a cellphone, which was then used to make an illegal purchase.

Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson, in a release, says Skylar Coady was arrested June 9 by Saint Joseph Police on an Atchison County District Court Warrant charging here with aggravated robbery and theft.

Coady has since been turned over to the custody of the Atchison County Jail, where her bond is set at $100,000.

Coady, along with 33-year-old Atchison resident Christopher Heston, are both accused of forcefully taking a cellphone from a 38-year-old man, around 9:00 on the night of May 27, in the 1300 block of South 8th Street. It's alleged the pair then used a mobile pay app on the phone to make a purchase, resulting in theft charges for the pair, as well as the aggravated robbery charge.

Heston is also held in the Atchison County Jail on a $100,000 bond.
