Warsaw Police arrested a Roann man Tuesday night for his alleged involvement in several burglaries.
Tyson Terrill McKay, 28, of Roann, was booked into the Kosciusko County Jail around 11:14 p.m. Tuesday for armed robbery. His bond was set at $100,000.McKay was interviewed by police and reportedly admitted he was involved in the January burglary of Bob Evans and the July burglary of McDonald's, as well as two burglaries in Wabash County and one in Utah.
On Jan. 1, two masked men armed with a gun confronted a night manager at Bob Evans on Center Street, Warsaw. The manager was forced to open the restaurant's safe, remove its contents and give them to the men.
Once the men got the contents of the safe, they tied up the manager and fled the scene.
McKay also was a suspect in the July 28 robbery of an employee of McDonald's who was making a deposit from the business on Commerce Drive in Warsaw. McKay admitted that he staged the fake robbery with another man, who told police he was robbed by an unknown assailant.
The man involved with the McDonald's incident, who has not been named by police, reportedly was involved in the Bob Evans robbery as well.
In Wabash County, McKay allegedly robbed a Bob Evans and a McDonald's as well. In Utah, he reportedly was involved in the robbery of another McDonald's.
In each case, McKay reportedly had other assistance from other people. Charges are expected against the co-participants.
McKay was employed at the Warsaw McDonald's at the time of the robbery and was formerly employed at the Warsaw Bob Evans when it was robbed.
In the Wabash robberies, either McKay or one of his family members was employed at the businesses.
McKay also faces charges of criminal confinement while armed (a Class B felony), intimidation with a deadly weapon (a Class C felony) and theft (a Class D felony).
The Kosciusko County Prosecutor's Office currently is reviewing the case, and McKay may face additional charges.
The Warsaw Police Department continues to investigate the incident with the assistance of the Wabash and Utah police.
