Three new aggravated robbery charges were filed against him on Wednesday.
Rios is accused of robbing a Dollar General store Feb. 6 and a Papa John's Pizza on Culebra Road, also on Feb. 12, as well as one other business.
The affidavit said the clerks told investigators the robber had a gun and that they feared for their lives.
In at least one case, one of the victims was able to supply police with the license plate number of the getaway car, the affidavit said.
