“The suspect threatened the employee with a firearm and struck them in the face with the weapon,” the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office said.
About three hours after the robbery, deputies responded to a report of a suspicious person near Markey and Addison avenues.
“The suspect was said to be displaying a firearm and walking down the roadway,” according to Vandalia Municipal Court records.
Deputies spoke to the man who reportedly matched the description of the suspect in the Kroger robbery. He was later identified as Addison.
Clothes that the suspect wore during the robbery were found on Addison’s parents’ back porch, according to court records.
During an interview, he denied involvement in the robbery, but said the clothes belonged to him, according to an affidavit.
