According to a police news release, information given by Lee on that contact provided officers a possible lead that he may have been involved in Wednesday\u2019s robbery. Officers followed up on that information and located the vehicle allegedly used in Wednesday\u2019s robbery at 1012 North Palace.<\/p>\n<p>Officers made contact with Lee at the residence after they confirmed that he was inside. According to the release, officers set up a perimeter around the residence and were able to talk Lee out of the residence without incident. Lee was transported to Smith County Jail and booked on the aggravated robbery charge.<\/p>\n<p>Tyler police responded to the robbery at 2706 West Gentry just before 12:30 Wednesday afternoon. Police were told that the suspect entered the store and displayed a semi-automatic handgun demanding the cash from the register. The store clerk told officers that the suspect removed the cash from the register, exited the store, and got into a car. A witness who was in the store at the time of the robbery followed the suspect, but lost him in the area of Parkdale and Garden Valley Road.
