Garner Police Make Arrest in Robbery

Torrey Mitch Singleton, 32, was charged with one count of robbery with a dangerous weapon.

Police had been called to 1595 Mechanical Boulevard around 3:38am Sunday after a female victim reported that she was approached by an unknown male armed with a knife. The man took her purse and ran away on foot.
