Cortese Davis, of Spring Lake, was found at a home on Blue Street in Fayetteville. He is being held on a $1.3 million dollar secured bond.
Police continue to search for Smith Paul Merinord, of Dunn.
The pair is accused of robbing the Advance Auto store on Owen Drive at Cumberland Road around 8:20 p.m. on Saturday.
Fayetteville police say the robbers came into the store and asked about a part for a car. As a female employee searched for the part, one the men pulled out a gun and demanded money.
The store's employees were taken to the back of the store where one of the robbers held a male employee at gunpoint while the second robber sexually assaulted the female employee.
The robbers then fled.
