BURLINGTON, Iowa — A 29-year-old man is facing robbery and theft charges after a robbery was reported at an apartment.

Officers found Clegg shortly after in the 500 block of South 6th Street and arrested him on several outstanding warrants.
“During a search of Clegg’s clothing, officers located cash and the victim’s cell phone,” the statement said.
Clegg was charged with second-degree robbery, first-degree theft, obstruction of an emergency communication and criminal trespass, according to police.
The victim sustained minor injuries.
