On 7/22/2017 at about 9:00 a.m. Janesville Police were dispatched to The Family Dollar at 1800 Center Avenue for what was originally believed to be a robbery.

River Rd. and the suspect was seen by a citizen walking away from the area.

It was discovered the suspect, Shane J. Fisher (28) was being sought by Columbia County for a robbery that occurred at a convenience store on July 20th.
