Cops: Robber had checklist of targets

PAWTUCKET, R.I. (WPRI) - Members of the Pawtucket Police Department's Major Crime Unit working a string of robberies since June finally got their break this week. And, pages torn from a phone book may end up being a key piece of evidence.

Police said MCU detectives arrested Jimmy Honeycutt and his girlfriend Stephanie McDole Wednesday.

Detectives pulled over the pair in the city because their car matched the description of a vehicle wanted in connection with a similar robbery at a Getty gas station the day before in Attleboro.

Major Martins of the Pawtucket Police Department says Honeycutt was found with evidence linking him to the robberies. In his pocket police discovered torn pages from a phone book, with asterisks next to some of the businesses robbed this month.

Police said during to of the earlier robberies, the suspect used a syringe to threaten the clerks.

Honeycutt is charged with five counts of first-degree robbery. McDole is charged with two counts of first-degree robbery.
