Warrants issued for metro-east man after armed robbery
A 21-year-old East St. Louis man was still being sought by authorities in connection to an armed robbery that was reported June 14.
O’Fallon Police Department said Thursday that warrants were issued for Wadell R. Savage, Jr. for his alleged involvement in an armed robbery of a store in O’Fallon called Dollars 4 Gold.
Criminal complaints accused Savage of two counts of armed robbery with a firearm and one count of attempted armed robbery. The suspect’s bail amount was set at $300,000.
O’Fallon police said Savage was not in custody Thursday afternoon. Authorities said last week that Savage was also wanted for a parole violation.
