On 09-23-11 at 5:11 PM, Villa Rica Police received a tip that the person who stole the donation money was at 629 South St in Villa Rica. Detective Sergeant Brian Finley had already identified the suspect as Ryan Michael Robinson on an earlier date. Villa Rica Police Officers went to the location and conducted a search of the residence. The officers were told that Robinson had left just prior to the officer’s arrival.
