2024 Graves County car theft suspect apprehended

A suspect wanted in connection with the theft of a vehicle in 2024 in Graves County has been arrested.

The Graves County Sheriff's Office said in February 2024, a Graves County resident listed their 2010 Chevrolet Camaro on Facebook Marketplace for sale.

An individual responded to the ad and agreed to come to Graves County to look at the vehicle. Two people arrived to meet the seller on February 27, 2024, at a local gas station. The buyer(s) arrived driving a Dodge Charger bearing Texas plates.

The buyer presented the victim with a cashier's check for $29,500, then stated they wanted to test drive the vehicle first. Once leaving on the test drive, the suspect never returned, nor the suspect driving the Dodge Charger with Texas plates.

While attempting to cash the cashier's check, lthe victim earned that it was fictitious.

Sheriff's deputies took possession of the fictitious cashier's check and submitted it for fingerprint analysis. The result was positive for identifiable prints, belonging to the victim, as well as the suspect, Joshua N. Robinson of the St. Louis, Missouri area.

The print matched that of Robinson from an arrest in Labette, Kansas on February 17, 2024.

A photo lineup was presented to the victim who identified Robinson  and an arrest warrant was issued and entered into a nationwide wanted persons database in April, 2024.

Robinson was arrested Tuesday in St. Louis County, Missouri on the Graves County charges of criminal possession of a forged instrument and theft by deception over $10,000 dollars.

Extradition proceedings are underway to return Robinson back to Graves County.

The victim's stolen Camaro has never been recovered.
