A man is accused of robbing a woman April 13 in a parking lot on Greenway Manor Drive in North County. The man’s girlfriend turned him in after finding a ski mask, gloves and a fake handgun in her car.

Mark Porter Reynolds, 26, of the 300 block of Shepley Drive in Glasgow Hills, was charged Saturday with first-degree robbery.
