Arrest Made In 2022 Palo Alto Robbery Case

PALO ALTO, CA — A suspect in connection with an armed robbery in Palo Alto has been arrested.

On Wednesday, Palo Alto police detectives arrested a man they believe was involved in an armed robbery in April of 2022.

An extensive investigation identified 25-year-old Tommy Walter Miller as the driver of the suspect vehicle in the robbery, which occurred in the 900 block of Bryant Street. The victim noted that Miller pointed a handgun at him from the suspect vehicle, while a passenger from the suspect vehicle got out to approach the victim with a pistol and demanded his property.
