She escaped and called 911 from inside the store.

The men ran across the highway and were arrested inside a Walmart five hours later, the release said.

They were charged with armed robbery, hijacking a motor vehicle, aggravated assault, possession of a weapon during the commission of a felony, entering auto, financial transaction card theft and theft by taking. Both were denied bond.
