GREEN BAY, Wis. — A man suspected of committing several robberies in Green Bay and Luxemburg is now facing another armed robbery charge.

Jaccob Pate is accused of robbing four stores in less than 12 hours. Three of the robberies were in Green Bay and one was in Luxemburg.

Pate was already charged in Brown County for two counts of armed robbery and one count of attempted armed robbery. On Wednesday, a charge of armed robbery with threat of force was filed against Pate in Kewaunee County, where Luxemburg is located.

Older court documents filed in Brown County say Pate told an officer he committed the robberies due to a drug habit but also, "to provide for my family but I know that's not the right way. It's hard."

If convicted, Pate could face a long prison sentence and possibly thousands of dollars in fines.
