Savannah-Chatham metropolitan robbery detectives and Precinct 3 patrol officers arrested a suspect Thursday in connection with an armed robbery last month at an east Savannah store.
Steven R. Carter, 48, was taken into custody at a residence on the 1000 block of East 38th Street. Investigators believe Carter is the gunman who entered the Family Dollar on the 1900 block of East Gwinnett Street and robbed the store clerk on July 23.
Investigators were able to identify and locate the suspect with the aid of a tip received in response to local media coverage.
Carter is charged with armed robbery. Additional charges are pending.
