The Jackson County Sheriff’s Department has apprehended Dakkoda Stirewalt in connection with a weekend armed robbery that occurred in the Helena community. Sheriff John Ledbetter confirmed that Stirewalt, 31, was arrested on Monday evening at a residence in George County.

Stirewalt and 26-year-old Zane Frankum are facing charges of armed robbery following an incident in which they allegedly stole a vehicle from an individual. The stolen vehicle has since been recovered by investigators. In addition to the robbery charge, Stirewalt is also facing a probation violation charge, as he was recently released from prison.

The homeowner, 42-year-old Michelle Walker, has been charged with hindering prosecution for allegedly harboring Stirewalt, a known fugitive.

All three suspects are currently being held at the Jackson County Adult Detention Center. Frankum's bond was denied on Monday, while Stirewalt and Walker remain in custody without bond. They are all awaiting their initial court hearings.
