Roberts is also a suspect in a robbery in the 5100 Block of South Louise Avenue Tuesday.
Police say employees at the 41st Street store said Roberts came in and said he didn’t want to hurt anyone. Then they said he reached into his sweatshirt and heard what sounded like racking the slide on a handgun.

Police say great information from the public after the first robbery and alert police work by the patrol officers led to the arrest.
