Just after 4:00 p.m. today, a man entered the post office on Scottsville Road, indicated he had a gun, and demanded money. The man was wearing sunglasses and a face covering. The clerk complied with his demands, and the man left the area on foot.
Responding officers were quickly able to view surveillance footage from a nearby business. The footage showed the man inside, and he was not covering his face. One officer recognized him from previous interactions.
As officers searched the area, another business reported a man had locked himself inside a bathroom. The man left before officers arrived. A second business then reported a man was inside its bathroom. Officers located the man and took him into custody.
Officers arrested Luke H. Bailey, 32, of Bowling Green, and charged him with Robbery, 1st Degree, and Tampering with Physical Evidence.
Thank you to the U.S. Postal Inspection Service and the Warren County Sheriff's Office for their assistance.
The investigation remains ongoing.
