The Napa County Sheriff’s Department is asking the public’s help in finding a parolee at large, a man they want to question in connection with several robberies in Napa and American Canyon.

Investigators want to interview Bryan Klingler, 31, about robberies the past few weeks at Jamba Juice, Subway, Baskin-Robbins and Quizno’s, all in Napa. They also want to talk to Klingler about Tuesday’s robbery at Country Creamery in American Canyon, sheriff’s Lt. Tom Commander said.

Detectives also believe Klingler may have knowledge about the same type of robberies in Vacaville, Fairfield and Benicia, Commander said.

In all the robberies the thief entered the business and attempted to buy a small item. When the store clerk opened the cash register, the man reached over the counter and grabbed money from the register, Commander said.

He then fled the business on foot.

Klingler is described as, white, 5-foot-9, between 150 to 180 pounds, with a shaved head and numerous tattoos on both his legs and arms.

Authorities consider him to be armed and dangerous and caution anyone about approaching him. If anyone has information about his whereabouts, they are asked to call Napa Police at 253-4451. Anyone with information about the Country Creamery robbery is asked to call Napa County Sheriff’s detective Chris Carlisle at 253-6030.
