Woodstock police arrested two men who allegedly robbed a woman at gunpoint at a gas station Friday morning.

Kerrick McCaslin, 21, of Atlanta, and Brandon Kemp, 26, of Smyrna, are accused of approaching the woman at the gas pumps at a Circle K on Ga. 92 with a gun and demanding her purse and car, according to a news release.

She escaped and called 911 from inside the store.

The men ran across the highway and were arrested inside a Walmart five hours later, the release said.

They were charged with armed robbery, hijacking a motor vehicle, aggravated assault, possession of a weapon during the commission of a felony, entering auto, financial transaction card theft and theft by taking. Both were denied bond.
