Update: Dollar store arrest

Posted

PAGE – Elias Isaac Laughter is in the hands of Coconino Superior Court.


The 30-year-old is charged with attempted armed robbery with threat to use a weapon and preventing emergency phone use.


Laughter was accused of armed robbery at Dollar General in Page June 23. No money was taken, but reports suggest a phone snatched from a clerk while attempting to call for help.


Laughter was arrested by Page Police June 26. An anonymous tip received helped lead to Laughter’s arrest after flyers with a security camera image were circulated on social media news sites.


Laughter has a history of run-ins with the law in Page, Shonto, and in Flagstaff, mostly minor crimes related to drugs and trespassing.
