Robbery Suspect Caught Near The University of Montevallo

Story by: Cory Graffeo

Students and faculty were on edge this morning after receiving a UM Alert. The message was sent as a warning for an armed robbery suspect that was spotted near campus.

The University of Montevallo Police Department says that the suspect robbed a victim at gunpoint and ran away with money.

UMPD Police Chief Chadd Adams says that the robbery took place off campus and the suspect was not a UM student.

A lockdown was not issued for the university. Chief Adams says, “If we wouldn’t have caught him in the exact moment that we did, a lockdown would have been put into place.”

The name of the suspect has not been released at this time.
