(KAIR)--A Leavenworth man is in custody, accused of the Thursday night armed robbery of the Stop and Go gas station in Winthrop, Missouri, located east of Atchison.

According to a release from Buchanan County, Missouri Sheriff Bill Puett, 45-year-old Ryan Beaudoin was arrested Friday morning around 10:00, following an all night investigation between his office and the Atchison Police Department.

Puett, in the release, says that investigation developed information about Beaudoin, and focused on a Leavenworth location, where the suspect was located Friday morning; and, with the assistance of the Leavenworth Police Department, and its Special Response Team, took Beaudoin into custody.

The investigation is ongoing, with the release saying that a search warrant was being conducted Friday, at the Leavenworth location, with Sheriff's Office investigators searching for evidence.

The investigation began following a report Thursday night around 8:30 informing the Buchanan County agency that the gas station had been robbed by a man who "produced a handgun and demanded money from the cash register."

Puett commends his office and the Atchison and Leavenworth Police, calling their work in getting the suspect into custody "outstanding."

The case will be submitted to Buchanan County Prosecutor Michelle Davidson for review and the possible filing of formal charges.
