An employee of a Texaco gas station was in the Warren County Jail this morning accused of conspiring to rob the store.

Chicobe Wilson, 26, 1423 Harrison St., was arrested Monday at his home after the manager of the station, on Mississippi 27 and U.S. 80, noticed strange behavior from Wilson and reviewed a store surveillance video, said Warren County Sheriff Martin Pace.

After a deputy also reviewed the tape, Wilson was arrested and a warrant was issued for a woman who was talking with Wilson on the tape, Pace said. The tape showed the two looking at and discussing, among other things, the store’s layout.

“We have an outstanding warrant for an adult female,” said Pace. “Additional arrests may follow.”

Wilson, charged with attempted robbery, is being held without bond.
