Details: Wednesday morning 12/7/16, around 9 am, the Citizens Bank in St. Albans was robbed by a man at gunpoint. According to My Champlain Valley, the "suspect was a black male in his late 30’s or early 40’s, slender build and is around 6 feet tall. He was wearing green hoodie and pants, and a dark colored hat. Police say he was possibly wearing boots." Police soon located the robbery suspect, Benjamin Edwards, 53, of St. Albans. Edwards will be facing charges of armed robbery and assault. Police said Edwards ran with the money and left the gun at the scene. In February 2017, Edwards was arrested for conspiracy to manufacture meth!
NO law will prevent crime. No law will stop criminals from getting guns. Gun Control only effects the law-abiding citizen and the politicians know it.
