Sgt. Juan Alvarez with the University of Arizona Police Department tells KGUN9 that Kwame Toliver, 21, Travis Starks, 20, and Aaron Lewis, 20,  were all arrested in connection with the robbery that took place on February 5.

A male UA student was the victim of the strong-armed robbery.

Alvarez says a student was walking in the bicycle/pedestrian path on the east side of the Marley Building, located at 1145 East 4th Street.

The student was approached by two dark-skinned males who took personal property from him using force. No weapon was observed or used, said Alvarez.

All three men were booked into the Pima County Jail and charged with one count each of Aggravated Robbery, a class three felony.
