Boulder police have arrested a suspect in connection with a robbery that occurred at Boulder Gas, located at 2995 28thSt., at approximately 8:03 p.m. last night, Feb. 6, 2012.

 

Police arrested 44-year-old Mark Charles Culpepper (DOB 3/15/1967). Investigators believe that Culpepper entered Boulder Gas and asked the clerk to give him some money. When the clerk said he couldn’t, the suspect left the store on foot. The suspect did not display a weapon or make any threats.

 

Around 9:15 p.m., an officer on routine patrol noticed a male fitting the description of the suspect from the Boulder Gas robbery at the Circle K store at 1480 Canyon. The male seemed intoxicated and said he had a medical condition. After he was checked out by paramedics, he was positively identified by the Boulder Gas clerk as being the suspect from the robbery.

 

Culpepper faces charges of Robbery, Criminal Attempt and Failure to Appear.
