A serial robbery suspect identified by his selfie as the man who wounded a store clerk during a heist last year will remain in jail after waiving his right to a detention hearing Thursday.
The hearing would have allowed George Wilson III, 33, of Penn Hills, to contest the federal government’s motion that he be detained until his trial on robbery charges. He is accused of robbing three video exchange stores and four gas stations in the Pittsburgh area in November and December.
The suspect’s attorneys have argued prosecutors have the wrong man.
George Wilson III incriminated himself by taking selfies in the same clothes he had on during the shooting.
But police, who turned their investigation over to the FBI, said Wilson helped identify himself as a suspect when he took a selfie. The picture shows Wilson wearing the same jacket as when he allegedly shot a clerk in the shoulder while robbing The Exchange store in Ross Township on Dec. 2.
Wilson’s current attorney, federal public defender Jay Finkelstein, has a blanket policy of not speaking to the media.
Various police departments in Allegheny County had charged Wilson with the robberies late last year, but federal authorities who took over the case obtained a grand jury indictment earlier this month.
