In Clayton, a recent investigation has led to the arrest of 19-year-old Walter Carlos Powell. Authorities connected Powell to a burglary at the Archer Lodge Express convenience store. Initially occurring on August 13, this incident saw Powell allegedly breaking into the store and stealing two bottles of wine. Charged with breaking and entering, larceny, and injury to property, Powell now faces legal consequences under a $20,000 secured bond. The store, with its historical roots as the C.E. Barnes Store, is recuperating from the losses incurred during the break-in.
