Police: DNA used to solve robbery
July 04, 2008 9:31 AM


DNA left on a bandanna near the scene of a robbery led to the arrest of a western Kentucky man in what police describe as the first robbery case in Kentucky solved with the scientific evidence.



Travis V. Wilson, 27, of Madisonville, was charged Wednesday with first-degree robbery stemming from July 25, 2007. He was also charged with first-degree wanton endangerment and fleeing police.

The robbery happened at a duplex in Madisonville. Three people sleeping in the home at the time told police a black man entered a darkened bedroom with a 9 mm handgun and demanded money and valuables.

Wilson was being held in the Hopkins County Jail. He did not have an attorney as of Friday morning.
