AURORA, Ind. – One man is behind bars accused of armed robbery at the Marathon Gas Station in Aurora on Saturday morning.
Detectives say the suspect told the clerk he had forgotten his wallet and left the store. A short time later he allegedly reentered the business with a knife demanding money. The man left with approximately $200 in cash and cigarettes, police say.
Aurora police released surveillance photos from the store which led to tips from citizens and Crime Stoppers identifying Brian Brown, 31, of Lawrenceburg as the alleged suspect.
Brown has been arrested and booked in the Dearborn County Jail on suspicion of robbery while armed with a deadly weapon, a level 5 felony.
Prosecutors say Brown was carrying the knife used in the robbery at the time of arrest.
