Boardman police arrested Douglas Centofanti on Monday in three robberies in two communities.

Police spotted suspect Centofanti, 34, in Liberty at the Tally Ho-tel around 2 p.m. He is charged in the robberies of a bank in Boardman and two Check Into Cash paycheck advance centers in Boardman and Austintown.

“They have to have a fair amount of money on hand to cash the checks,” Boardman police Chief Jack Nichols said of the advance pay centers.
