- Rutledge is charged with three counts of first-degree robbery and is scheduled to appear in court Thursday.
- Officers responded around 8:24 p.m. to Modern Way near Cane Run and Farnsley roads, where a man with a leg wound was found and later hospitalized with injuries not believed to be life-threatening.
- Police said a woman separately arrived at a hospital with a gunshot wound to the shoulder, and investigators believe both victims were involved in the same incident.
