Two men are now in custody, accused of aggravated robbery at an Arlington payday loan business on Jan. 10 that ended with a shootout with police and several employees tied up. Arlington Chief of Police Al Jones announced the second arrest on Thursday and showed several videos of the robbery from surveillance cameras and the shooting caught on officers’ body-worn and dashboard cameras. Jones said a passerby called 911 after seeing two men who appeared to be armed entering the CashMax Title and Loan in the 600 block of West Pioneer Parkway. The chief said officers arrived and covered the exits and that two officers knocked on the back door and announced themselves. A short time later, a man ran out the back door and escaped.

Jones said a second man stuck his arm out the door and fired several shots toward police. The officers returned fire, and the man retreated and tried to go out the front door, where he was taken into custody without any other shooting. After the gunfire ended, police said several people who worked at the business tried to leave by the back door, and officers reported that their hands and legs had been bound with tape. None of the employees had been injured, and no one was hurt in the exchange of gunfire. Police identified the man taken into custody as 37-year-old Kelvin Bivens and booked him into the Arlington City Jail on one count of aggravated assault against a public servant and one count of aggravated robbery. Jones said investigators later learned Bivens had an aggravated robbery warrant out of Louisiana. “Bivens is no stranger to the criminal justice system. They have a history of violent acts like this,” said Jones. “I think it was random act of violence, I don’t think this business was targeted at all. There is no relationship to the suspects in the business or the employees.” Police later identified the man who ran from the business as 38-year-old Kevin Lewis. Lewis was located by a US Marshals North Texas Fugitive Task Force and arrested Thursday morning, almost two weeks later. The officers involved in the shooting were only identified as veteran officers with two years and three years in the department. Both have returned to active duty after initially being placed on standard leave after the shooting. Police said Thursday the criminal and administrative investigations into the incident are ongoing. Jones credited the citizen who called 911 to report something suspicious and encouraged others to do the same if they saw anything alarming or unusual. “That just shows when you have people of your community, the eyes and ears, willing to give us a call, That’s how we keep Arlington safe. Community policing and making sure that we’re partnering up with our community, so I just want to thank that individual for making that call, because we they saved some lives that night,” said Jones.
