Clarksville, TN – There were two robberies, overnight, which Clarksville Police believe involves the same suspect.
On March 19th, 2013 around 7:00pm, Police were called to a robbery at 303 College Street. The suspect entered the store, displayed a handgun, and demanded money from the 38 year old male clerk. Once he received the money, he fled from the scene.
On March 20th, 2013, around 3:50am another robbery took place. It was at 301 Providence Boulevard. The suspect entered the store and made some inquiries to the 41 year old female clerk about the price of some items in the store and then acted as though he was going to make a purchase.
The suspect, who was standing in front of the cash register, raised his shirt, displayed a handgun, and demanded money. He was given the money and left the business on foot, but may have entered a vehicle a short time.
The description of the suspect was very similar in both robberies. As the investigation continued, Joshua Charles Dunlap became a prime suspect in the College Street robbery through identification in a photo lineup. Dunlap was located and transported to the detective division.
While being interviewed by Detective Kenny Bradley, clothing matching the description of the College Street suspect and a BB gun was located by other detectives at a residence which Dunlap frequents.
Dunlap Is currently on probation for Theft of Property and Burglary.
The investigation is ongoing and an arrest in the Providence Boulevard robbery is expected very soon.
The lead investigator is Detective Kenny Bradley.
