ANDERSON — A second man has been charged in connection with the armed holdup of Harvest Market in April.

Prosecutors charged Harry M. Elliott, 48, Anderson, on Thursday with assisting a criminal and obstruction of justice. Both are Class D felonies punishable by six months to three years behind bars.

According to the probable cause affidavit filed with the charges:

Investigators received information that Elliott drove the getaway vehicle when Donald R. Parsons robbed Harvest Market, 3205 Columbus Ave., on April 12. Parsons, 51, was arrested several days later, but when officers tracked Elliott down and questioned him, he denied involvement in the holdup.

Detectives learned Elliott was living with Parsons in the 2300 block of Fletcher Street, and his pickup truck matched the description of the getaway vehicle. When officers went to the Fletcher home to search for the money taken in the robbery, they couldn’t find the cash.

Investigators received information that Parsons told Elliott where he buried some of the stolen money in the home’s basement. Detectives got another search warrant for the home and discovered the basement hiding place.

When questioned a second time, Elliott admitted Parsons told him he robbed the store and showed him some of the money. Parsons told Elliott he had received inside information about the best time to rob the market, but that information wasn’t included in the court documents.

Elliott related to investigators Parsons told him where some of the money was buried. Elliott dug it up, deposited some of the money into Parsons’ commissary account at the Madison County Jail and spent the rest on himself.

Anderson police arrested Elliott shortly before 2 p.m. Wednesday near the intersection of 19th and Locust streets. Elliott made an initial court appearance Thursday and was released from jail after posting 10 percent of his $5,000 bond a few hours later. It wasn’t immediately known if he has an attorney.

Prosecutors charged Parsons with armed robbery, a Class B felony, for allegedly robbing the store. The felony is punishable by six to 20 years in prison. He is currently in the custody of the Indiana Department of Correction.
