SEATTLE -- A man charged in a string of armed robberies throughout the city pleaded not guilty Tuesday.

Prosecutors say Clovelle C. Harvey, 21, was part of a team responsible for a number of robberies in several neighborhoods, including Green Lake, Magnolia, Capitol Hill and North Seattle.

According to court documents, the four went on a shopping spree with the credit cards of their victims, hitting the drive-through at a Jack in the Box restaurant, charging hundreds of dollars at a View Ridge 7-Eleven, and buying gas.

Two other suspects, Sheena Blackburn, 24, and Jarvis Gibbs, 23, have also pleaded not guilty.

A fourth man who was arrested and later released has not been charged.

Harvey is being held in the King County Jail on $100,000 bail.
