Kentucky State Trooper Matt Foster of Marion arrested a man yesterday that police believe attempted to rob a Beulah gas station.
At 7:05 p.m., Thursday, state police received a call from the Hopkins County Central Dispatch in reference to an attempted robbery at the Kangaroo Express on Ky. 70 in Webster County. The clerk advised that a white male had come into the store and stated that he did not want to hurt them and that he had a gun. The clerk was able to escape to the outside of the store and the suspect fled from the scene in a vehicle.
Twenty minutes later, Trooper Foster stopped a vehicle on U.S. 41 A south of Providence that matched the description of the suspect’s vehicle. The driver, Jerry D. Trammell, 59 of Garner, N.C., was arrested and charged with carrying a concealed deadly weapon and speeding. He was lodged in the Webster County Detention Center where he was later served a warrant charging him with first-degree robbery.
