An Arlington teen awaiting trial over his alleged role in a 2023 stabbing has been arrested on a robbery charge.
Police took Kamron Tartt, 19, into custody in Arlington’s Green Valley neighborhood on Feb. 6, shortly after he was identified as a person of interest in a robbery, an ACPD spokesperson told ARLnow.
Tartt, whose first name is also spelled “Kameron” in some police records, is one of four suspects accused of taking more than $300 in merchandise from a liquor store in Falls Church on Jan. 17.
During the incident, Tartt is believed to have physically assaulted a store employee, raising the offense from a burglary to a robbery, according to a spokesperson for the Falls Church Police Department.
Tartt was out on bond at the time for a malicious wounding charge in Arlington County Circuit Court.
Police responded to a residential building in Arlington Mill on Dec. 15, 2023, following a report that three men had been stabbed in a stairwell during a physical altercation. Tartt was taken into custody the following month.
Four days after Tartt’s arrest, he was denied bond by a judge in Arlington’s General District Court. Upon appeal to the circuit court, however, Tartt was ultimately released from custody with certain restrictions on March 15, 2024.
Tartt was back in custody later that summer after violating the “no social media use” restriction of his bond, coming after he appeared alone in an Instagram Live video, prosecutors with the Commonwealth’s Attorney’s Office alleged.
Though Tartt’s bond had been revoked on June 24 due to the violation, a circuit court judge approved a second release on Oct. 15.
Tartt remains in custody at the county jail in Courthouse following his arrest earlier this month.
He is scheduled to appear in circuit court tomorrow (Friday) for a status hearing regarding the malicious wounding charge, while a date regarding the robbery charge has been set for March 17 in general district court.
