A 11 THE COURIER-JOURNAL, SATURDAY. MAY 11. 1391 LOUISVILLE AREA DEATHS Lawsuit filed in girl's deaths in Bardstown Road crash Attentive police nab unsuspecting suspect inside Hall of Justice By T.L STANLEY Staff Writer An 18-year-old Louisville man spotted by police in the Hall of Justice was charged with a spree of early-morning armed robberies after a city police officer recognized him from descriptions broadcast over the police radio. "This was a veteran police officer who knew about the recent armed robberies and the description of the suspect," Louisville police Sgt. Gary Hagan said.

"He looked at the guy and realized he fit the description." Police pieced that information together with other tips they had received about the holdups, Hagan said, and on Thursday arrested Leo Powell Wilbert III, who had just appeared in Jefferson District Court on other, unrelated charges. Wilbert, whose street name is Yellow King, was charged with eight counts of armed robbery. He is being held without bond in the Jefferson County Jail. Wilbert, of the 3600 block of Herman Street, was in district court early Thursday on charges of possession of alcohol by a minor, resisting arrest and disorderly conduct. He pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct and was ordered to serve 30 days in the home incarceration program.

But he didn't get that far. Detectives arrested Wilbert as he went to talk to home incarceration counselors, Hagan said. Wilbert was charged with six armed robberies in the city, one in Jefferson County and one in Shively. Police said they are looking for at least two other suspects believed to have taken part in the crimes. The holdups started at 3:30 a.m.

May 1, when a man robbed the SuperAmerica at 1711 W. Broadway. Three days later a man hit the same business just after 6 a.m., pointing a revolver at a clerk's head until she opened the cash register, police reports say. The same morning the man robbed the Convenient at 2728 W. Market St.

Over the next three days, five more businesses were hit, all between 3 a.m. and 7 a.m. There were no reported injuries during the holdups, although a shot was fired into the wall of a Shell gasoline station at 3300 Algonquin Parkway on Wednesday, according to police reports. Merchants told police the robbers were armed with handguns. "We were worried that it could escalate," Hagan said.

The woman, 52-year-old Karen L. Goodman, was treated at Humana Hospital-University of Louisville and released on April 7, the night of the stabbing. The next night a neighbor found Goodman dead in bed in her apartment at 932 S. First St. An autopsy revealed that Goodman had died of multiple traumatic injuries but not from the stabbing.

The full autopsy report is incomplete, and Chief Deputy Coroner Bill Wilkie said he could not be more specific about the death. it, had scheduled sentencing for March 21. But the date was changed to yesterday after English and her mother, Sharon Bell, fired defense attorney Jim Vonsick. Schneider has denied English's request for a public defender, saying she does not qualify. The public defender's office has appealed that ruling.

The sentencing hearing was changed again yesterday at the request of English's new lawyer, Frank Jewell. He said he was hired a week ago and had not had time to prepare. Assistant Commonwealth's Attorney Joe Gutmann objected to the continuance, but Schneider agreed to delay the sentencing once more. Moore, 44, who police described as Goodman's boyfriend, and who also lived in the 900 block of South First Street, was arrested on the night of the stabbing and was in jail when Goodman died. Louisville police detectives are investigating Goodman's death as a homicide, Lt.

Gene Sherrard said. He said detectives have a few suspects but have not made an arrest. Rick Jones, a spokesman for Commonwealth's Attorney Ernest Jasmin, said that grand jury proceedings are secret, so his office could not comment on why Moore was not indicted when the grand jury considered the case Wednesday. degree burglary.

But LCA vice president Steve Spalding said the property owners and LCA management-district commit-. tee believe the money should go for.

Bather wants to see if perhaps the security part of the budget should go to off-duty police officers to pa trol downtown, not to hire less experienced "sidewalk monitors." Spalding said that more guards: would be more visible and that LCA wants to avoid the appearance of an "armed camp." The better option is to have off-duty police supervising the monitors, he said.
