Two people were arrested yesterday in Columbus, accused of robbing a victim with a tire iron.
The incident started yesterday morning when the victim went to meet a female friend at a local business, but a man jumped out of the woman’s car with the tire tool, and took the victim’s cell phone, cash and shoes.
Bartholomew County deputies arrested the woman, identified as 19-year-old Haley Burton of Columbus Tuesday evening and gathered information that led them to a home where they found 25-year-old Erik Peetz of Columbus.

Burton is facing a preliminary charge of robbery with a deadly weapon. Peetz is also being accused of robbery with a deadly weapon along with possession of methamphetamine and a legend drug injection device.
Deputies are looking for a third person who they may have information about the incident.
