An arrest warrant has been issued for Edwards on charges of assault and robbery, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, larceny from a person, and reckless endangerment.
According to investigators, the incident took place around 2:40 p.m. when a confrontation between two men inside a vehicle escalated.

Edwards is described as a white male, 5 feet 7 inches tall, with short brown hair and hazel eyes.
He has a scorpion tattoo on his left forearm and a tribal tattoo near his right shoulder and neck.
