Farr was federally charged with 12 counts of armed robbery in January 2025.

The robberies happened at multiple convenience stores and gas stations throughout southwest Ohio in December 2024, the U.S. Attorney’s Office said.

This included several armed robberies throughout Dayton, Riverside, Springfield, and Trotwood.

Dayton police were tracking Farr from Dec. 3 to Dec. 15, 2024, according to a previous News Center 7 report.

They used the city’s flock cameras to track the license plate of a red Taurus. The license plate was picked up close to the locations of the robberies.

Farr was eventually arrested during a traffic stop on Dec. 16, 2024.

During that stop, he was wearing the same outfit described in the robberies and had a 9mm pistol in his waistband.
