CINCINNATI --
A Westwood man told police Monday afternoon that someone had robbed him at gunpoint and stolen his bag of marijuana.

Police said 35-year-old Jason Owens flagged down an officer and said he'd been robbed by a gunman around 4 p.m. in the 1400 block of Vine Street, in Over-The-Rhine.

When police asked Owens what the gunman stole, he told them the robber took a bag of pot valued at $80.

Jason OwensOfficers arrested 18-year-old Dorvas Dodds and charged him with aggravated robbery.

Police did not say whether they recovered the stolen marijuana.

Authorities charged Owens with drug possession on Tuesday afternoon, despite an earlier claim that he would not likely face charges due to Fifth Amendment issues.

Investigators said Owens had four open warrants, including two for drug possession, so they took him into custody.
