A second suspect in Wednesday morning’s incident at the Elkhart Walmart has been identified.
The Elkhart County Sheriff’s Department says 28-year-old Seth Aaron Carlos Allen was taken into custody by the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms and booked into St. Joseph County Jail.
He was found to have a warrant for his arrest on two charges: Felon in Possession of a Handgun and for Delivering a Controlled Substance- Methamphetamine.
Two local charges are pending: Conspiracy to Impersonate a Public Servant, a Level 6 Felony; and for Conspiracy to Commit Armed Robbery, a Level 3 Felony.
Those are similar charges that his alleged accomplice, 37-year-old Joseph Gerber of Warsaw, faces. The two were arrested after employees discovered a suspicious vehicle and a man putting on a bulletproof vest.
A third suspect went into the store and has not been located. A gun as also recovered during the incident.
In a previous booking, Allen had a Warsaw address.
