The Fayette County Sheriff’s Office has arrested and charged a 30 year-old Greene County man in connection with two robberies at Fayette County businesses during a 24 hour period. The man was arrested at his home early Wednesday morning.
The night clerk at the Quality Inn, located at 10160 Carr Road in Jeffersonville, Ohio, reported on Tuesday morning, November 8, 2011 at 3:38 a.m., a male subject approached the registration desk and inquired about renting a room. When asked for identification, the male subject indicated that he needed to return to his vehicle and retrieve it. Upon returning to the lobby area, the male subject walked behind the registration desk, demanding money from the cash drawer. The night clerk complied and the male subject fled the area with an undisclosed amount of cash.
Wednesday morning at 3:26 a.m., deputies were dispatched to the Waffle House, at 11546 Allen Road, Jeffersonville, Ohio, after employees reported being robbed by a male subject. Waffle House employees indicated that a male subject entered the business, placing a food order. Upon approaching the cash register counter for payment, the male subject handed the cashier a handwritten note demanding cash from the register. The cashier complied and the male subject fled the area with an undisclosed amount of cash.
Employees at the Waffle House were vigilant, capturing the license plate number of the suspect vehicle as it was leaving the area. Investigative leads in the robbery cases led detectives to a residence in Fairborn, Ohio. Sheriff’s detectives, aided by the Fairborn Police Department, located the suspect vehicle, recovered evidence pertinent to the investigation, and took the man into custody without incident. The man was charged with two counts of robbery, two counts of theft and was incarcerated in the Fayette County Jail pending arraignment in the Washington Court House Municipal Court.
