Brian Eugene Brubaker has been connected to yet another crime. Augusta County issued a warrant on Brubaker Wednesdayfor an attempted robbery at the Ladd Convenience Store in Stuarts Draft last week.

Kim Campbell was behind the counter the day she says Brubaker entered the store and demanded cash.

She recalls, "I was really, really shocked when he asked me if he could speak to a manager and I never, never dreamed that he was going to try and rob the place."

Campbell's father, Jim Walters, owns the store. He was originally concerned that several people were robbing convenience stores in the area, but it turns out it may have been just one.

Walters says, "I was real tickled, especially with all the rashes of Harrisonburg and Dooms, Crimora, and around here that it was the same person and not a bunch of people, different ones. So that makes me feel a little bit better."

They both wondered if Brubaker could be responsible for not only robbing their store, but others in the area as well.

Campbell comments, "I wondered if they were all linked to ours."

Campbell and Walters say they both worked diligently with the Augusta County Sheriff's Office to find the man who tried to rob them. Investigator Paul McCormick says it was their help, and the help of witnesses, that led them to Brubaker.

McCormick says, "When Brubaker had been arrested in Harrisonburg, we presented the photo lineup to the witnesses at Ladd Convenience and the totality of statements and the photo lineups and other information, we had more then sufficient probable cause to obtain the warrant for attempted armed robbery."

Investigators also say they served a warrant on Brubaker Wednesday for a gas drive off at Taylor's Grocery in Fort Defiance that also occurred last week.
