DURHAM, N.C. — A Durham man was arrested Thursday night and charged with committing three armed robberies in the past 10 days, according to Durham Police.
Officers, acting on a tip, stopped Cleveland David Edwards, 22, of 901 Chalk Level Road in the parking lot of his apartment complex Thursday night. Police said they found marijuana in his vehicle and charged him with possession of marijuana with the intent to manufacture, sell or deliver.
He was also charged with the following armed robberies (all were committed with a firearm, according to police):
