SOUTHINGTON, Conn. (WTNH) — A suspect was arrested Wednesday after an armed robbery in Southington, according to police.

The incident happened at the Go Happy gas station on the Meriden-Waterbury Turnpike. Officials said a 911 caller reported a black man entered the gas station, displayed a gun and demanded money. He then allegedly went behind the counter and removed cash from the register himself.

Police said several other robberies occurred on the Meriden-Waterbury Turnpike earlier this week and the suspect’s description matches this one. Officers arrested the suspect, 33-year-old Jeremy Edmond, as he entered the I-84 ramp. He was held on $1 million bond and appeared in court Thursday.
