Car key to arrests
Officer credited in minutes after store robbery

Good eyesight by a Cincinnati police officer led to the arrest early Monday of four people minutes after a Dairy Mart was robbed.
When Officer Mike Reynolds spotted the rose-colored Prism about 3 a.m., he recognized it as one similar to a car described over his radio minutes before.
Four occupants in a red car had just held up the convenience store on Overlook Avenue in Price Hill.
Officer Reynolds stopped the car on Glenway Avenue. He could see that one of the men wore Army-like fatigues, as the clerk had described. He could also see, police reports said, a wad of money by the driver's seat.
“It was a case of somebody getting good information, somebody putting it out and somebody else checking out what they saw,” said Lt. Don Smith, head of investigations in District 3. “It doesn't always happen that way.”
Police arrested driver Brandie Carpenter, 19; Sarah M. Goins, 18; and Dennis Wadlinger, 18, all of Price Hill; and Scot Lowery, 20, of Amelia. Mr. Lowery is accused of holding a knife to clerk Clifford Lindsey's neck while they demanded money.
Mr. Lindsey later identified all four as the ones who robbed him, the report said.
Ms. Carpenter was charged with complicity to commit aggravated robbery.
Police said she did not go in the store. The others each face a charge of aggravated robbery.
