Rhode Island police say they've arrested a suspect in a string of robberies going back to June in which the robber threatened victims with a syringe.

Police in Pawtucket pulled over a vehicle last Wednesday matching the description of one used in a robbery the day before and arrested Jimmy Honeycutt and his girlfriend Stephanie McDole.

Police say torn pages from a phone book were found in Honeycutt's pocket with asterisks marked next to some of the recently robbed businesses.

Honeycutt was charged with five counts of first-degree robbery and McDole with two counts of first-degree robbery, WPRI-TV said Friday.

A syringe? Dear Lord!

What robbery? I'm just off to work!
