Cloverleaf turns unlucky for alleged Minn. crook

[August 03, 2009]  ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) -- The cloverleaf turned out to be unlucky for one alleged robber in the St. Paul area. Ramsey County sheriff's deputy Jeremy Bolen identified the 32-year-old St. Paul man by the cloverleaf tattoo on his left arm, the cloverleaf on his cap and the Celtic cross tattooed on his right bicep.

Bolen used descriptions from witnesses to connect the man to two St. Paul convenience stores and a gas station robbery in Eagan. The suspect was tracked down after being arrested Monday for alleged drunken driving and crashing into another car. He injured himself and two others.

The Dakota County attorney's office charged him Friday with one felony count of aggravated robbery. He's being held on $150,000 bail. The case is still under review in Ramsey County.
