A man is arrested and charged in connection with three armed robberies that happened within days of each other.
The Blount County Sheriff’s office says Jeremy Smith is identified as a suspect by investigators with the Maryville Police Department following an armed robbery that happened at Casey’s on West Broadway on Saturday.
BCSO says Smith matched the description of a suspect in two previous armed robberies that happened earlier this month, one on Domino’s on Topside Road on July 3 and another at the Kenjo on Airport Highway on July 15.
Investigators searched Smith’s car and home, finding several pieces of evidence, including a handgun, a black mask and clothing believed to have been worn during the robberies and cash.
Smith is charged with three counts of aggravated robbery.
