A search for a tuxedo-wearing robber forced area schools to lock down Monday before police captured a suspect in the afternoon.

Police in Brentwood said a gunman in a purple shirt and a tuxedo robbed a store in their town around 9 a.m., then jumped into a Cadillac and led police on a 100-mph chase. Police said the robber, still armed, ran into the woods after crashing his car in Kingston shortly before 10 a.m.

Schools were locked down as police with dogs and a helicopter searched the woods off Route 125 and the area of the Kingston Fairgrounds.

Police said they captured Eugene Fitzgerald, 36, Monday afternoon.

Officers said they found Fitzgerald, an unemployed welder, strolling through the intersection of Mill and Coach roads at 1:45 p.m.

"The guy was wearing shorts, walking down the street, drinking an iced tea," Rockingham County Sheriff Dan Linehan said.

sometimes

to make a stand
against the fog
he made a sword
of electricity
and carried it on wires through
the city

he trained the crows
to carry the wind

his ship was built of pepsi cans
and frozen pizza boxes

he received no mail
even credit card companies avoided him

his home was invaded by young women
wearing "hoodies"
Asking him to play the harmonica , they laughed,
nervously

the walls were painted to resemble
a half painted paint-by-numbers forest

sometimes he thought he
saw a half painted leprechaun
grinning at him

the fog was shipped in from foreign countries
the mail woman would leave a notice
