On February 20, 2019 at 11:07 AM, Investigators from the Tompkins County Sheriff's Office apprehended a suspect in the armed robbery that occurred at the Tops gas station on Triphammer Road on 02/16/19. The identity of the suspect is not being released due to age.  The identity of the second suspect is still being investigated.

The Sheriff's Office received assistance from the New York State Police and the Cayuga Heights Police Department.

As a result of the ongoing investigation, Maurice Marshall, age 48, of 2303 N. Triphammer Road, remains in the custody of the Sheriff's Office on the charge of Robbery 3rd, a D felony. Marshall's arraignment is pending.
