A robbery suspect was arrested when he returned to the scene of the crime to ask the victim out on a date, police said.

Columbus police allege that Stephfon Bennett, 20, was among three men who robbed a couple late Sunday.

Sgt. Sean Laird said the woman recognized Bennett as one of the robbers when he returned to ask her out about two hours later. She had a relative call 911.

Police said Bennett was arrested in front of the home.

He was arraigned Tuesday on a charge of aggravated robbery and was being held in the Franklin County jail on $100,000 bail.

A public defender had not yet been assigned to Bennett's case, officials said.
