BIRMINGHAM, Ala - Police say a man accused of robbing a woman in the parking lot of a Birmingham Wal-Mart has been arrested.

Birmingham police spokesman Sean Edwards says 22-year-old Jarod Dorsey is charged with robbery in the Nov. 19 incident and is being held on $75,000 bond.

Authorities say Dorsey and another man are accused of pulling a 58-year-old woman to the ground and dragging her across the pavement during the robbery. Police say the woman was injured in the encounter.

Edwards says authorities are following up on information about the second suspect in the attack.

It's unclear if Dorsey has an attorney.
