The second robbery reportedly occurred at around 7:26 p.m. on March 10, barely a month after the initial incident. The cashier managed to call 911 after seeing a gun in the suspect’s front pocket, forcing him to flee.
The authorities described the then-unidentified suspect as a 6-foot-tall Caucasian man in his 50s to early 60s with an average build and glasses, a gray sweatshirt and blue jeans. They said he brandished a green pistol during both incidents.
Carlson is now being held at Pima County Jail on two counts of armed robbery. No bond has been established as of Wednesday.
