DNA on Burgers Links Three Men to Robbery
SUFFOLK, Va. - Three men are in jail after DNA evidence from leftover burgers linked them to the robbery of a McDonald's more than a year ago, police said Monday.
Marcellus L. Jones, 45, Thomas Nelson Cribbs IV, 23, and Dexter Carlos Webb, 22, are charged with armed robbery, five counts of abduction and six counts of using a firearm in a felony. Jones also was charged with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.
The men allegedly ordered food and ate while waiting for the restaurant to empty on May 2, 2004. They then robbed the business at gunpoint and forced the employees in the freezer, said police spokeswoman Lt. D.J. George.
Police were able to get warrants when the DNA evidence was found on the leftover portions of the burgers the robbers left behind, George said.
Cribbs and Jones already were incarcerated when the warrants were served. Webb was arrested on Saturday.

Speaking of burgers, I finally got around to experiencing a Blackie's cheeseburger. (Been there several times, never had a burger.) Excellent indeed.
