Blake Reed, 17, 2501 Culkin Road, Apt. G8, is being charged with another count of armed robbery in an April 30 heist at Clay and Howard streets, Stewart said.

Reed attended a bond hearing Friday, then was taken back to the Issaquena County Jail, where he has been held. Bond was increased $100,000 to $775,000.
