MINOT, N.D. (AP) - A Minot man accused of robbing four businesses in the city this month says police have no proof that he’s the culprit.
Twenty-five-year-old Vincent Musi III made his initial court appearance Monday on four felony robbery charges that could send him to prison for 40 years.
Musi did not enter formal pleas, but the Minot Daily News reports that he told Judge Doug Mattson that “there is zero tangible evidence” that he committed the crimes.
Musi is accused of robbing a hotel, a motel and two convenience stores in Minot. He’s also a suspect in a store robbery in nearby Surrey. No one was hurt in any of the robberies.
Mattson set Musi’s bond at $150,000, which Musi called “unreasonable.” He said he plans to apply for a public defender.
