DNA points to man in robbery

Police arrested a Middlebury man in connection with the armed robbery of a convenience store in Addison County last month. 23-year-old Adam Racine pleaded not guilty Thursday in Rutland District Court. A crucial piece of evidence in the investigation Racine's DNA found in a blood stain found on a bandana that police say the gunman wore. The clerk on duty in the Quick Stop at the time of the holdup told police the robber wore a bandana, and identified it after a witness said it fell from the man's face.
Judge Nancy Corsones set bail for Racine at $50,000.
