A 70 year old man is accused of robbing a convenience store in Jackson County, in eastern Iowa. The sheriff's office say Garry Evilsizer is currently in the Jackson County Jail on a charge of second-degree robbery.
KCRG-TV 9 reports It happened just after 8:00 Saturday night at the Miles Mini-Mart. Deputies said a man went inside and demanded cash from the clerk and held her at knife point.
Just before 9:00 Sunday night KCRG-TV 9 reports Jackson County deputies along with Preston police officers stopped Evilsizer, who was driving a red KIA at an intersection in Miles for reportedly not having a head-lamp and tail-light out.
The sheriff's department says he also failed to dim the headlights. Investigators say Evilsizer appeared nervous. Deputies could see items sitting on the back seat which appeared to be identical to the suspect wore during the Mini-Mart robbery.
They included a gray, hooded sweatshirt and a pair of brown work boots three sizes too big for Mr. Evilsizer. The jeans Evilsizer wore appeared to be similar to the ones the suspect was wearing, which included having one of the pant legs rolled up, the sheriff's office said.
Evilsizer reportedly admitted to authorities that he had a knife in the car which appeared to be the same knife used in the robbery.
Investigators were granted warrants to search Evilsizer's car and his apartment in Miles. They reportedly found drugs and drug paraphernalia in his apartment. Evilsizer is also charged with driving without a license.
