Greenville County Sheriff's Office have arrested and charged a 21-year-old man in connection with a robbery at a Taylors convenience store.

Deputes arrested Paul Jennings White III of Canyon Ridge Trail, Lyman, in connection with the July 10 armed robbery of Spinx located at 2601 Locust Hill Road in Taylors. 

Deputies said the robbery happened around 1:30 a.m. when White entered the store and asked the clerk how much a carton of Newport cigarettes cost.
