A short distance away, Officers observed the vehicle pull up to a residence in the 600 block of east Bridgeport. The occupants of the vehicle exited and went inside.

Once enough Officers arrived onscene and they were able to surround the residence, they started to ask people to exit. Several people did exit the residence and were detained. One of the males was identified as 24 year old Aaron D Williams. After an investigation, Williams was arrested and booked into the Spokane County Jail for 1^st Degree armed Robbery.
