Jason P. Bolduc, 29, of Pearl Street was arrested today by Westerly officers about 4 p.m. without incident at a relative's apartment on Marriott Avenue, according to the police. The police had received a tip about his whereabouts. Bolduc will be held overnight and appear in Washington County District Court in the morning on charges of robbery. The Westerly police were looking for Bolduc, who they suspect of robbing the store with a man who they allege went on the next day to rob and assault an elderly couple in Connecticut. -- projo.com staff writers Michael P. McKinney and Brandie M. Jefferson and Journal staff writer Paul Davis Earlier today, the police said they considered Bolduc to be armed with a knife, and dangerous. The police said they got an arrest warrant for Bolduc yesterday after obtaining physical evidence and a witness identification linking him to the burglary, according to Det. Sgt. Mark Carrier earlier today. The police allege Bolduc robbed the Route 1 convenience store on Monday with 45-year-old Gregory Whiting of East Providence. The next day, an elderly Stonington, Conn., man called the police and said he and his wife had been choked and assaulted, and robbed. The police spotted a car matching the caller’s description and followed it into Westerly, where it crashed into a tree, Westerly Police Chief Edward A. Mello said earlier today. The police say they found Edward Northup, 37, of Westerly in the car, and Whiting, who had fled, at a nearby home. Both men were found yesterday to be in violation of probation for previous sentences and are being held without bail. Bolduc has “a lengthy record with us,” according to Carrier, and had previously been involved in high-speed chase with local authorities.
