Two arrested after Family Dollar robbery

YOUNGSTOWN — A man and a woman were arrested after reports said a Glenwood Avenue Family Dollar was robbed at gunpoint just before 1 p.m. Wednesday and the robber took the cash register.

Robert Perry, 48, who reports list as homeless, and Donna Ross, 57, of Austintown, are both in the Mahoning County jail on aggravated robbery charges. They are expected to be arraigned Friday in municipal court.

Officers were called to the store and received information that someone followed a car the robber got into to a house on West Ravenwood Avenue. The car itself, with Ross driving, was later found at Idlewood and Boston avenues.

The homeowner on West Ravenwood Avenue gave police permission to search the home and officers found Perry inside, reports said. He matched a photo taken by security cameras at the bank, although he had changed his clothes since the robbery, reports said.

Police did not find the cash register or the gun.
