July 28, 2016 at 4:25 p.m.
Two Warsaw men who allegedly robbed a store clerk were caught after police traced their escape route in last night's freshly fallen snow.
The night clerk's purse and $3,675.24 were taken from the parking lot of the Dollar General Store, 540 E. Market St., at 10:03 p.m. Thursday
Marshall Boomer Slone, 16, of 405 S. Wood St., and Ryan Lee Bussard, 20, of 1620 E. Sheridan St., were taken into custody last night in connection with the robbery.
Police investigators at the scene followed footprints through the north parking lot to a nearby apartment.
Slone and Bussard approached the night clerk and her husband from the south side of the store as they walked to their car.
The suspects allegedly ripped the deposit bag and her purse from under the left arm of the clerk and fled. The two ran through the north-south alley just east of 533 E. Market St.
The victim described the two as wearing ski masks and dark clothing when they took the purse and deposit bag.
The cash and the purse were recovered at the apartment.
Police believe that Bussard, who had a probation payment due today, planned the robbery beforehand. As a stipulation of his probation he had to pay restitution to a victim of a previous crime.
Bussard was booked into Kosciusko County Jail at 11 p.m. Thursday charged with strongarm robbery. Slone was released to his parents pending the outcome a probation investigation and the decision of a judge. [[In-content Ad]]
