SHREVEPORT, Louisiana (KTBS) — A Shreveport man is charged with armed robbery after Shreveport police say he attacked a store clerk with a tree branch.

Willie Mandigo, 33, was arrested Tuesday morning after patrol units responded to a store in the 600 block of East 70th Street. The store clerk suffered multiple lacerations to his hands and arms.
