The third incident for which Grant was charged happened two days later on March 7th at 8:20 pm in the 1600 block of South 2nd Street.

The fifth robbery reportedly happened March 14th at 11:00 pm in the 800 block of South 4th Street. The owner of Queen Village Pizza told officers the suspect entered the store and ordered a pizza. He allegedly then pulled a black plastic bag from his pocket and placed it on the counter and demanded the money from the register. The owner said he refused and the suspect pointed a black handgun at him and reached over and took $35 from the register and fled the scene on foot.
