The US Postal Inspection Service partnered with Evanston Police Investigative Services. This cooperative investigation led to identifying a suspect vehicle.

Pullett was taken into custody and investigators continued their investigation. The investigation included the execution of a search warrant at Pullett's residence. During the execution of the search warrant investigators recovered a Glock 36 handgun, proceeds from the robberies, and clothing worn during the robberies.
The investigation was reviewed by the Cook County State's Attorneys Office. The State's Attorneys Office approved felony charges for two counts of Armed Robbery and one count of Unlawful Use of a Weapon by Felon. Pullett was also charged with traffic related offenses.
