Serial robber arrested at Columbia police station

Posted: 07.17.2012 at 5:21 PM

A suspect in three mid-Missouri robberies is in custody.

Investigators say Matthew Carter showed up at the Columbia police station with a woman whose photo had been circulated in connection with the crimes.

Apparently, Carter was not aware that authorities had already identified him as a suspect in robberies at the Copper Kettle in Ashland, Passions in Boonville and The 22 Drive Thru in Centralia.

Officers recognized Carter immediately and arrested him and prosecutors have charged him in all three incidents.
