Kenton Palace Gaming Robbed Wednesday; Law Enforcement Agencies Make Quick Arrest

**UPDATE: This report has been updated to include a correction to the location of State Route 309 and Township Road 55.**

Three Lima men were arrested Wednesday after a robbery at Kenton Palace Gaming Wednesday afternoon.

According to a release from Kenton Police Chief Dennis Musser, officers were dispatched at around 1:10pm to 915 East Columbus Street to investigate a robbery in progress at the business.

When officers arrived, they were informed that a male suspect had entered the business moments earlier and robbed one of the employees, before fleeing in a dark colored SUV.

The suspect was accompanied by another male, as well as a possible driver, who had been waiting outside.

As officers began searching the area for the suspect’s vehicle, they radioed dispatch with the vehicle and suspects information, as well as the direction of travel.

That information was relayed to units with the Hardin County Sheriff’s Office and minutes later the vehicle was spotted by a Deputy near State Route 309 and Township Road 55.

The vehicle was stopped and three males, 26-year-old McGregory Cribbs, 25-year-old Darius Jackson, and 22-year-old Stevion Jackson were taken into custody.

The vehicle was seized and an undisclosed amount of cash was recovered at the scene.

Approximately fifteen minutes had passed from the initial report to the time the suspects were located and arrested.

Chief Musser credits that to the quick and efficient communication and cooperation between law enforcement in the field and dispatch personnel.
