CROWLEY – Crowley Chief of Police K.P. Gibson advises that investigators and officers with the Crowley Police Department have arrested an Acadia Parish man in connection with an armed robbery and an attempted armed robbery that occurred on Wednesday, November 19, 2008.

Officers were called out to a local business in response to an attempted armed robbery. The suspect was described as an unknown male wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt and a mask, and brandishing a black, long-barreled gun. Suspect ran from the establishment before gaining anything.
