SCRATCHY NAILS - A disagreement over a cell phone led to an attempted armed robbery at Sky Nail & Spa Monday, according to the Huntington Police Department.
Officers arrested Skylar Larcart, 20, on five counts of wanton endangerment and one count of robbery.
Huntington police say Larcart was inside the nail salon Monday afternoon, when a disagreement over a cell phone occurred.
"Larcart left the business and returned less than an hour later and brandished a firearm at employees and customers, while demanding money for the cell phone," said Huntington Police Capt. Dan Underwood.
After the employees refused, Larcart left the business for a second time and was stopped by HPD officers about two blocks away, according to Underwood. Larcart was arrested and taken to Western Regional Jail, where he was booked at 9:15 p.m. His bail was set at $200,000, cash-only.
