Shorter is accused of taking part in the November 27 armed robbery of a tattoo shop in the 4300 of Fegenbush Lane. His arrest report says Shorter did not have a gun, but his accomplice, Fabian D. Ralston, did.

Bond for Shorter was set at $50,000 cash during his arraignment on December 17. He will be back in court December 28.

Ralston, 23, was arrested on December 4 and remains at Louisville Metro Corrections on a $15,000 bond.
