PARKER — Authorities have arrested a second suspect from a Panama City Beach shooting, which police believe stemmed from a drug deal turned robbery, officials reported Tuesday.
Garrison Eugene Warrender, 25, had been sought by Panama City Beach Police since the Oct. 12 shooting. He was found hiding in an air duct of 1335 South Kimbrel Ave., Apt. B, in Callaway, at about 10 a.m. Tuesday by U.S. Marshals.

PCBPD suspected the shooting occurred in the midst of a Lantana Street robbery for drugs and cash, which initially was arranged as a drug deal. Clarence Bernard Robinson, 23, was arrested about 10 p.m. that evening after being identified as the triggerman. Robinson allegedly shot 25-year-old Justin Lisk in the stomach with a small-caliber handgun, police said.
A third suspect has not yet been identified by police and is still at large. PCBPD said Warrender, of 647 Allen Ave. in Panama City, made several incriminating statements during their interview. He has been charged with principal to armed robbery and aggravated battery with a firearm.
PCBPD’s investigation is ongoing.
