A second New Orleans man was booked Tuesday with armed robbery in connection
to the May 31 robbery of an Arabi business. St. Bernard Parish Sheriff Jimmy
Pohlmann said on Tuesday afternoon that two more suspects remain at large.

Kendrick Wells, 36, was arrested by the U.S. Marshal's Service Fugitive Task
Force in New Orleans early Tuesday as he attempted to flee a house, Pohlmann
said. Wells has had previous arrests for burglary, drug-dealing and drug
possession, according to the Sheriff's Office.

On Monday, a $200,000 bond was set for Rodrick Natteel, 36, who sheriff's
detectives booked on Saturday with armed robbery in connection with the May
31 incident.

Nattell had been on parole after serving time as an accessory to murder in
New Orleans, the sheriff said. Natteel pleaded guilty in 2001 to accessory
after the fact to first-degree murder in the 1998 fatal shooting of gospel
musician Raymond Myles, 40, a two-time Grammy nominee.

Nattell also was arrested in 2012 for an aggravated battery incident in an
Arabi home.

In the May 31 incident, three men carrying guns entered the Arabi business,
on the 7500 block of West Judge Perez Drive, at about 10:50 a.m. and
demanded money, robbing the store and several customers, Pohlmann said. No
one was injured, according to the Sheriff's Office.

The fourth man was the getaway driver, the sheriff said.
