There's new information this morning about a robbery and prostitution investigation.

Springdale police have arrested another person in a case that all began online, on sites like Craigslist and Backpage.com.

Investigators say William Brown, 28. participated in an armed robbery at a home on Crutcher Street last month.

According to police, after setting up a meeting with the victim online, a female escort lured the man to the home.

Once inside, Brown and three other men, armed with a gun and screwdriver, jumped out of a closet and robbed him.

Brown is on parole out of Benton County and is also a registered sex offender.

Last week, officers arrested Timothy Counts, Richard Rodriguez and Melvin Cooper.

All four face aggravated robbery charges.  

Counts and Rodriguez also face charges of promoting prostitution.
