A Columbus State Community College student was arrested and charged Monday on the school’s campus for his alleged involvement in the September robbery of the Uniprint store on Millikin Way.
Columbus State campus police, in collaboration with Ohio State University Police, arrested Kalvin S. Rohr, 20, for aggravated robbery, robbery and felonious assault.
Police have previously arrested and charged two other men in connection in the robbery. Daquan M. Ellis and Tekie Seyoum Tesfamichael, both 21, were arrested Oct. 21. Tesfamichael was recently indicted on three charges.
Tips left with Central Ohio Crime Stoppers assisted OSU Police in identifying Rohr, leading them to file a warrant for his arrest.
The tips led police to discover that the getaway car used in the robbery, a white Cadillac, was registered to Rohr’s mother.
“One thing led to another,” said Richard Morman, OSU deputy police chief. “We were able to connect Kalvin to the robbery because of the tips.
“The first two arrests were because of good old-fashion police work,” he said. “This time we had help from tips.”
The two alleged robbers are accused of forcing their way into the store at 6:15 a.m. Sept. 30 and hitting an employee in the head with a handgun before robbing the business. The masked gunmen fled in the white Cadillac with an undetermined amount of money. Morman said the money has not been recovered.
The employee was treated at a local hospital for injuries to his head.
Ellis, who was arrested at his Far East Side home, was charged with aggravated robbery. Tesfamichael, a Reynoldsburg resident, was arrested at his place of employment and charged with complicity to aggravated robbery.
Morman said the case will be more complicated for the three men because the crime involved a firearm.
Officers from Columbus State Community College campus police were unavailable for comment.
