CHARLESTON - Police stopped a white Crown Victoria leaving Palmetto Point Apartments around 11 p.m. Monday night, shortly after nearby Pierpont Pub had been robbed by two men wearing all black clothing and wieding a shotgun, according to a statement released by Charleston Police.

Four people were in the car at the time of the stop and all allegedly fled when officers pulled them over. Three of the men in the car were caught, the fourth got away, though police still hope to identify him.
