A St. Albans man was arrested Monday for allegedly robbing a Dollar General store in Cross Lanes in May.
Michael J. Roberts, 25, is charged with armed robbery.
On May 12, Roberts brandished a firearm at the store, located at 5211 Doc Bailey Road, and demanded a clerk give him money, according to a criminal complaint filed in Kanawha County Magistrate Court.
He allegedly stole a gift bag from inside the store, then took the money out of the cash drawer and placed it into the bag.
A witness told police Roberts fled in a U-Haul rental truck.
If convicted, Roberts could face not less than 10 years in prison.
