Police lost Higgins, but were still working crime scene at the drug store when a neighbor reported hearing breaking glass at the bank, which was about the same time the alarm at the bank sounded.
Since officers were so close, they were able to respond quickly, and found Higgins hiding in the shed nearby. Allen arrested Higgins, who struggled and resisted, and took him to the Lincoln County Regional Jail.
Detective Allen was the grand jury witness and bond was set at $30,000 cash or property. Higgins is scheduled to be arraigned at 10 a.m. on Dec. 21.
In a separate case, Higgins pleaded not guilty in Lincoln Circuit Court last week on felony charges of receiving stolen property and being a persistent felony offender. He has a pre-trial conference scheduled for 10 a.m. on Dec. 21.
