Man wanted for Conway robbery arrested in West Virginia

A man wanted for assaulting a 60-year-old convenience store clerk during a robbery has been arrested in West Virginia, police said.

Salvador Sanchez Ware, 35, of Conway is expected to be extradited to S.C. to face charges for a strong-armed robbery early Nov. 18, according to Lt. Raul Denis with Horry County police.

Ware will be charged with kidnapping, assault in the first degree, and strong-arm robbery, Denis said.

Officers responded to the Scotchman Convenience Store at 510 Highway 544 in Conway around 6:33 a.m. Wednesday to report a robbery, Denis said.

Before leaving the store with an undetermined amount of money, the suspect assaulted the 60-year-old clerk “causing severe injuries that required medical attention,” Denis said.

Ware has been jailed three previous times this year on various charges, including breach of peace, assault and battery and criminal domestic violence, according to jail records.
