HENRY COUNTY, Va. – The Henry County Sheriff’s Office has identified the man wanted for a weekend robbery in Bassett.

The hold-up happened at Dodge’s Store at 5643 Virginia Ave in Bassett around 10:00 p.m. Sunday. Investigators say the robber placed a food order in the store, then pointed a gun at the clerk, took the food and ran.

21-year-old Eric Dwayne Swain, Jr. of Roanoke has been charged with robbery and the use of a firearm during the commission of a felony.

Swain was arrested early Monday in Greensboro, NC, after police there say he robbed a woman and stole her car. He will be extradited to Virginia to stand trial for the Henry County robbery and for unspecified charges in Roanoke.
