Byron Harrington was on parole when authorities say he committed the first in a string of robberies, using zip ties to restrain each victim.
In March 2021, records say Harrington was paroled from an Ohio prison after serving 14 years for charges including breaking and entering and safecracking.
On Jan. 19 of this year, prosecutors say the 54-year-old robbed a Marathon gas station in Norwood soon after it opened. Prosecutors say Harrington, wearing a mask and holding a gun, ordered the clerk to open the safe.
Court documents say the suspect then forced the clerk into a cooler, forced him to lie face down and zip-tied the clerk’s arms behind his back.
