AUBURN, Ala.- On May 22, 2024, Auburn Police arrested Hamilton Ross Medley, age 29, from Auburn, on warrants charging him with two counts of robbery in the first degree.

The arrest stems from Auburn Police responding to a robbery at a business located in the 4200 block of U.S. Highway 29 South. Responding officers met with employees of the business who reported that a male suspect entered the store and demanded money while threating the use of a firearm. The suspect collected an undisclosed amount of currency and fled the scene.

Detectives from the Auburn Police Department responded and developed information linking Hamilton Ross Medley to the robbery. Detectives obtained a search warrant for an Auburn residence associated with Medley.

During the execution of the search warrant, Medley was detained and evidence was discovered inside the residence that appeared to be related to the robbery. After further investigation, Medley was also identified as the suspect that committed a similar robbery at a business located in the 100 block of East University Drive on May 19, 2024.

Medley was transported to the Lee County Jail to be held with no bond pending further judicial review.

All defendants are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law
