Arrested: Stickley, Cody M; 18 year of age male, Transient

On 8-23-2011 at about 2:45 PM police were advised of a robbery that had just occurred at the Knight Street Transfer Station, 1010 Knight Street. A suspect description was put out of two males with Nazi swastikas tattooed on their bodies.
The investigation revealed that a 19 year of age male subject was approached by two suspects at the transfer station. One individual demanded that the victim hand over his cell phone. The subject complied and then asked for the phone back. The suspect, later identified as Stickley, refused and said he would have to give the victim a beating before returning his property.
Stickley struck the victim in the side of the head with his fist and grabbed a bus pass from his hand. He and another subject then ran from the scene.
Stickley was located running on Stevens Drive close to the transfer center. He has a swastika tattoo on the side of his head and matched the description provided by the victim and at least one witness. According to the victim a second male present when the assault occurred did not speak or participate in the assault. The second subject was contacted but not arrested.
After confirming Stickley's identity, officers arrested him. The victim's bus pass was found in his pocket but the cell phone has not been recovered.
The Benton County Prosecutor's Officer authorized Stickley to be booked into the Benton County jail on a charge of 1st Degree Robbery.
