A tip to Crime Stoppers led to this morning’s arrest of convicted robber Gerald Robinson, 50, who is now charged with two convenience store hold-ups.
Robinson allegedly entered the Mapco at 2827 Smith Springs Road Tuesday at 2:30 a.m. and told the clerk he didn’t want to hurt him over a few dollars. Robinson took cash from the register. Approximately one hour later, Robinson walked into the Exxon at 4198 Murfreesboro Pike and indicated he had a weapon. The clerk refused to open the cash drawer and Robinson fled empty handed.
Both clerks positively identified Robinson as the robber. He admitted his involvement in both hold-ups during interviews with Hermitage Precinct Detective Jason Rosalia. Robinson is charged with aggravated robbery and attempted robbery. He is being held in lieu of $100,000 bond.
Robinson was convicted in June of robbing a Hamilton Church Road convenience store in January. He was sentenced to probation. Robinson also has past theft and felony cocaine convictions.
