The Greene County District Court Clerk confirms a suspect arrested Saturday for a robbery in Harrisonburg is also the suspect in a pair of robberies in the county last week.
Harrisonburg Police say Brian Eugene Brubaker of Crimora entered the Tractor Supply Company on East Market Street Saturday morning. He held a knife to a female store clerk from whom he demanded money and then left.
Brubaker was caught after police received a phone call from a citizen moments after the robbery. The tip led officers to a nearby parking lot where Brubaker was located, arrested and charged with armed robbery.
The Greene County District Court Clerk says three warrants were issued and served on Brubaker, charging him with the robberies at Boot'Vil in Ruckersville, Crawford Saddlery and the Forest Lakes Food Lion.
Two of the warrants were served late Saturday evening and the third was served Monday.
Lt. Kurt Boshart of Harrisonburg Police Department says they're still investigating other robberies in Harrisonburg, to see if Brubaker is involved.
Boshart says, "We have two here in Harrisonburg that we're looking at, actively looking at, the Tractor Supply, also we are looking at the Cracker Barrel robbery as well. We've had a number of other robberies and we're looking at those as well."
Boshart also acknowledges that authorities in Harrisonburg, Greene County and Augusta County are all working together to solve the various robberies.
Theres no word yet if robberies at Eastside Grocery in Augusta County and the Farm Bureau in Staunton are connected to Brubaker.
Brubaker is expected at a bond hearing Wednesday on the Greene County charges. A hearing scheduled for Monday in Harrisonburg for the Tractor Supply robbery was continued until July 1.
