INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) – One man is in custody in connection to an armed robbery over the weekend, according to the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department.

IMPD says on Saturday, April 20, at approximately 9:15 p.m., officers responded to 1200 Whitcomb Avenue for a report of an armed robbery.

During the course of their investigation, officers learned that 40-year-old Adrian Clasberry pointed a gun at a victim and demanded money. The victim followed Clasberry’s command and handed over an unspecified amount of money.
