Marion Police are searching for this man after an armed robbery Tuesday

Marion Police have one person in custody, and are searching for another after an armed robbery Tuesday night.

Police say the two men robbed Borowiak's IGA at around 9:00 Tuesday night. One of the store's employees reportedly escaped through a back door to make the 911 call.

Investigators say the two suspects got away from the store just before police arrived, but a K-9 unit was dispatched and 23-year old Isaiah Dossie was caught a short time later. Officers say both Dossie and the other suspect were bitten by the K-9 during the chase.

The second suspect, described as a black male wearing a black hoodie, was able to escape into the area north of the grocery store. He may have a dog bite on the lower part of his leg.

Investigators say a purse was recovered where Dossie was captured, which had cash stolen from the IGA inside. Dossie was arrested on suspicion of Armed Robbery, Obstruction, and on a warrant from Wisconsin.
