Posted

A third man, Robert M. LaFollette III, 18, of 748 E. Main St., Warsaw, was arrested in connection with Syracuse Pizza Hut's Dec. 31 armed robbery.

LaFollette originally was arrested Jan. 4 for possession of marijuana. At the time of his arrest, he was driving a vehicle police described as "suspicious." His picture was placed in a photo line-up and identified as one of the robbers by witnesses.

He, and the two juveniles, Nicholas S. Ashkins, 17, and Ryan Kennelley, 17, are each being held on a $100,000 bond in Kosciusko County Jail.

Police revealed in a press release that about $3,400 was taken during the armed robbery. One suspect, Ashkins, is a former Pizza Hut employee.
