A man wanted for armed robbery in southern Indiana was arrested in northern Indiana. Indiana State Police released details Wednesday night of the arrest that happened this past Sunday.

David Kenneth Lee, 28, of Indianapolis, was arrested by Indiana State Police during a traffic stop on Interstate 80 in Lake County. Lee had an outstanding Level 3 felony warrant for armed robbery in Spencer County. He was lodged in the Lake County Jail before being extradited to the Spencer County Security Center, where he is being held on bond.

The investigation began after the February 12, 2023, armed robbery of the Village Hut convenience store in Fulda, Indiana. During the incident, a masked man entered the store, pointed a handgun at the clerk, and forced them to lie on the floor while cash was stolen from the register. The suspect fled on foot and evaded law enforcement at the time.

Further investigation identified Lee as the suspect, and authorities from other states have connected him to similar armed robberies. The Indiana State Police Jasper Criminal Investigations Division thanked other agencies for their cooperation in the case.
