Over the summer, detectives investigated 22 aggravated robberies that had similar characteristics, according to the affidavit.

In each case, the robber would hold a handgun with his left hand, hand the drawstring bag to the employee with his right hand, and demand money.

One man had a shorter, thinner build, while a second man who stood as a lookout had a taller and heavier build.

In three cases, the suspects would rob a victim of their vehicle and then rob several convenience stores immediately after, according to the affidavit.

When police identified Bryant as a suspect in two of the cases, Bryant confessed to "at least" 10 robberies, according to the affidavit. He also identified his cousin, 41-year-old James Bernard Carson, as the second suspect.

Carson has not yet been arrested in connection with the case, records show.
