Winnebago County, WI – A 58-year-old Oshkosh man was arrested following an armed robbery earlier this week at a Kwik Trip in the Town of Vinland, authorities confirmed.
According to the Winnebago County Sheriff’s Office, deputies responded around 12:30 a.m. on October 13, 2025, after a man allegedly displayed a handgun and demanded money from the store’s register. The suspect fled on foot with an undisclosed amount of cash before driving away in a parked vehicle nearby.
The Oshkosh Police Department, Neenah Police Department, and Wisconsin State Patrol assisted in the response, quickly saturating the area. Despite the initial escape, investigators later identified the suspect’s vehicle and learned its registered owner had a record of robbery convictions.
On October 15, officers located and stopped the suspect in Oshkosh, taking Lorenzo Wood Jr., 58, into custody without incident. A search warrant was executed at his residence as part of the ongoing investigation.
