 Found these lovely newspaper articles, he robs the store and goes a few doors down to a barber shop and gets a haircut...Not very bright.


She called the police then led them to him in the barber shop getting a haircut, he had a gun...Brave lady.

I haven't found any other information on Charles I even searched his alias which wasn't easy with so many hits. I am wondering if he left California and went back to Ohio I did find a Charles A Cavanaugh from there with a birthdate very close. Doesn't seem he got into any more trouble unless came up with new alias' More research will need to be done, or a family member come forward to enlighten us...I love his story and how he got caught.
