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.
