Fayetteville

Police say they can chalk up an assist to the weather in solving an armed

robbery Thursday morning at the Flash Foods convenience store on Lanier

Avenue.

Officers were

able to follow the suspect's footprints in the snow, Lt. Tom Kirkbride

said Tuesday.

Michael Jerome

Dorsey, 23, of Fayetteville, has been charged with robbing the store just

after midnight with a "pipe-like object," according to warrants

filed for Dorsey's arrest.

Dorsey, who

fled the scene on foot, was found hiding in a brown Dodge Diplomat that

was parked at a residence on Hood Avenue, according to the warrants.

Dorsey was

charged with one felony count of armed robbery and a misdemeanor count

of criminal trespassing. According to a police report filed on the incident,

$120 in cash was recovered.
