Police apprehended Omar Shields, 27, at the Roebling River Line station.
FLORENCE -- A Camden man has been charged with robbery after taking a cell phone from a person following a fight on 4th Avenue in Florence.
Officers who responded to a fight around 7 p.m. Monday were told the robber had fled the area. An officer saw Omar Shields, 27, entering the Roebling River Line station and ordered him to stop, but he allegedly ran from the officer.
Police eventually arrested Shields, and charged him with robbery, burglary, resisting arrest and simple assault. Police recovered the cell phone.
While police were investigating at the fight scene, they arrested Tamysha Jackson, 25, after she allegedly gave officers several false names in an attempt to avoid arrest for outstanding warrants from Camden County.
Jackson was charged with hindering apprehension.
Shields was taken to the Burlington County jail on $50,000 bail following his arrest. Jackson was initially held on $1,750 bail at the jail.
