Last Wednesday night (June 8th) the Subway restaurant at 96th Street and Olio Road was the site of an armed robbery. Fishers Police searched the area at the time, but could not find a suspect.
Armed robberies are not a routine event in Fishers, and that’s a good thing. I have just had an update done to my Internet service, so I was down when police announced Friday of an arrest in this case. Better late than never.
The suspect has been identified as Jonathon Cope, 31, from Greenfield. Fishers detectives had been trying to locate Cope, but it appears Marion County authorities got to him first. Cope was found to be in the Marion County Jail Friday, held on a charge of fleeing the scene of a robbery.
Fishers Police plan to file felony charges against Cope in connection with the June 8th Subway robbery.
So, some good police work, mixed in with some good luck, led to the suspect in the Subway robbery case.
