A Howland man who was arrested Tuesday on Route 11 is expected to be arraigned Wednesday on a charge of robbery.

Twenty-seven-year-old Ryan Rulong is a suspect in Tuesday afternoon's robbery of the True North gas station on East Market Street in Howland.

The clerk told police that a man wearing a mask and carrying a gun robbed the business at around 3:30 pm.

The employee told dispatchers that the robber drove off in a white Ford pickup truck with license plates covered in purple paint.

Minutes later police pulled over a pickup truck fitting the description along Route 11 southbound near Tibbets-Wick Road.

Police arrested the driver, identified as Ryan Rulong, and took him to the Trumbull County Jail.
