Evansville Police arrested 20 year old Timothy Stiff last night on Armed Robbery charges.
Investigators believe Stiff robbed the Check Into Cash store on E Diamond Ave on Thursday night. Employees told police that Stiff came into the store and filled out a loan application. He then pointed a handgun at them and demanded money. He fled the store with an undetermined amount of cash. While he did not use his actual information on the loan paperwork, he did leave his cellphone behind as he fled.
Investigators obtained a search warrant for the phone and were then allowed to examine it. Several items on the phone, including some “selfies”, were used to identify Stiff as the suspect in the robbery.
Stiff was located late Friday night and arrested an Armed Robbery warrant. He is being held at the Vanderburgh County Jail.
