Alachua County man charged with armed gas station robbery after separate arrest

Alachua County Sheriff’s deputies have charged 21-year-old Mikale Fuye with armed robbery in connection with a May 10 holdup at a Circle K on Southeast Hawthorne Road southeast of Gainesville. Investigators say Fuye and a second suspect entered the store, held employees at gunpoint, and fled with cash from the register. Fuye was already in custody on unrelated burglary charges stemming from a vehicle pursuit and crash when the robbery charge was added Monday.
