A Macon man was charged Wednesday with robbing a Bibb County "adult" store.

According to a news release from the Bibb County sheriff's office, 27-year-old William Jeffrey Lowder Jr. was arrested and charged with armed robbery in Saturday's robbery of the Xmart at 2025 Emory Highway.

The news release says more arrests are possible in the case.

The store, which sells X-rated books, videos and other adult products, was robbed for the fourth time in nine months Saturday.

According to a news release from the Bibb County Sheriff's Office, a man wearing pantyhose over his head entered the store, showed a black handgun and demanded money. He ran away on foot and was last seen running toward Macon. No one was injured.

Robbers also hit the store in February and twice last November.
