A 19-year-old man has been arrested in the botched Easter robbery and shooting of a motel clerk in Athens, Tenn.

Treaven Moses was charged in the attempted robbery on April 9, according to McMinn County Sheriff’s Office booking records. He is being held on a $50,000 bond.

Moses turned himself in at the Bradley County Sheriff’s Department and was transferred to McMinn County to face the charges, Athens Police Department Detective Sgt. Fred Schultz said Monday. McMinn County Jail records list Moses’ charge as aggravated robbery.

Moses appeared for an arraignment on April 10 and has another court date set for Wednesday in General Sessions Court.

A 17-year-old girl turned herself in the day after the incident while authorities continued to look for Moses and at least one other person.
