State police say they caught the man responsible for a string of robberies in Floyd County earlier this year.
A grand jury indicted Anthony "Bo-Jo" Blackburn on five counts of robbery and six counts of possessing a firearm by a convicted felon.
Police say Blackburn robbed at gunpoint a string of businesses along U.S. 23 from March to May.
Police say surveillance video led them to Blackburn.
He is accused of taking money from three grocery stores; the Cardinal Country Store in Watergap, Velocity Market in Betsy Layne, and Boyd's Grocery in Banner.
Police say he also robbed the Ivel BP in April and the Harold Double Kwik.
Police also arrested Mark Anthony Bryant of Prater Creek and charged him with three counts of complicity to the robberies.

I am very sorry for what Bo did, but you did not spend even one second in his shoes. He served honorable as a Military Police soldier in Korea with me. I am not in anyway saying that this justifies what Blackburn has done, but there is more to this story than just a hoodlum running around sticking a gun in peoples faces.
I was the one working the night he robbed velocity, and it wasn't a pleasant night. He needs to be locked up for good!!!!
Will he be prosecuted or will he be let go to continue. Years in prision is what he needs. You can't rehab him! However, I know in KY, CRAP WALKS!
