The suspect wanted in the armed robbery of Arnoldsburg's Speedy Mart was
indicted this week by a Calhoun Grand Jury. Brian Michael Farabaugh, 18, of
Pennsylvania, is also being prosecuted for other offenses in Pennsylvania
and Tennessee. The charge is aggravated robbery, one count. Farabaugh held a gun to a Speedy Mart employee in the early morning hours of December 30, 2002, taking about $300. The man had stolen a Geo Tracker earlier in the evening from a Jackson County business and obtained gas at a Spencer Go-Mart, driving away without paying. He was caught the following day near Jackson, Tennessee after he fired shots at police officers. A dozen police cruisers chased Farabaugh across three counties on I-40, using road spikes to stop his vehicle. Farabaugh, in what was perceived as a suicide attempt, then fired a shot into his chin and face. The Grand Jury indicted four other individuals: Lewis Scott Whited, DUI 3rd offense, one count. Jaden Z. Beall, grand larceny, one count; breaking and entering an auto, one count; entering without breaking an auto, one count. Delbert King, malicious assault, one count. Calvin Lee Ferrell, sexual assault in the second degree, 20 counts. |
