A suspect in an attempted robbery at Gumby’s on National Road in Woodsdale earlier this month has been arrested by the Wheeling Police Department.

Andrew Mitchell Oates, 33, of Wheeling, is facing a charge of second-degree robbery. 

Police believe Oates entered Gumby’s around 8:30 p.m. on March 9, handed a note to an employee, and attempted to rob them. He fled the area shortly after, and no one was hurt.

He was taken to the Northern Regional Jail, pending a court arraignment.
