LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) - Little Rock police have made an arrest of a man suspected in three recent convenience store armed robberies.

Police said Wednesday 38-year-old Keith Robinson was picked up at about 12:40 p.m. Tuesday after officers saw him leaving a hotel on the Interstate 30 service road in south Little Rock. Robinson was wanted for robberies that occurred Friday, Monday and on Sept. 26.

Police spokesman Lt. Terry Hastings says that more charges are expected. In each of the three robberies, store clerks reported that a man with a rifle demanded money and then fled.

Hastings says Robinson is charged with three counts of aggravated robbery and two theft counts. Robinson is being held without bond in the Pulaski County Jail.

It wasn't clear whether he has a lawyer.

The first indication of racial bias occurs with the accusation of racial bias, The second is the application of racial stereotyping. One can never make their point if the conversation begins with an insult. This guy is a criminal, matters not what his race, sex or religious beliefs are. He committed a crime and will have his day in court.

when you rednecks commit a crime you say awe he was from a bad home or he can be rehabilitated, but when he is a minority (whites are truly the minority) he gets hammered with all kinds of negative comments. true enough the guys a menace but its not just minorities its all over little rock. this guy probably didnt steal 1000 total. lou hardin stole hundreds of thousands why is he not being called a thug, a disgrace and all the bad names, because he did it with a suit on?

It's too bad that more store clerks don't point a gun right back at those robbing thugs, then pull the trigger. Would save so much time and money..

You can take the thug out of the ghetto but...... This thug will have free room and board and medical and will sit and plot his next crime when he gets out. They need to be worked very hard while in prison so they wont want to go back, and that will give them a reason not to comitt another crime.
