Deputies found a shotgun in the vehicle and arrested 29-year-old Marcus L. Grant of Junction City and 34-year-old Jerimy D. Carlson of Abilene.
Two men are arrested after an armed robbery early Saturday morning.
According to Deputy Police Chief Carson Mansfield, a man and a woman answered a knock at the door at 810 W. Iron on Saturday around 5:15am.
Tony Penry and Dee Ann Ballew told police that two men asked some questions - then one pulled a shotgun from under a coat and pointed it at them.
Police say Penry gave the men his wallet with $70 cash, before the two drove off in a blue Chevy Camaro with a white hood.
About an hour later, a Saline County Sheriff's Deputy identified the car and pulled over the vehicle as it entered the town Solomon on Old 40 Highway.
