SOUTHINGTON — A Southington man was arrested Tuesday after allegedly robbing an Autozone store and threatening an employee with what appeared to be a firearm.
Officers responded to the Autozone located at 60 Interstate Park Drive at approximately 5:55 p.m. on March 18 following reports of an armed robbery.
Police said Hector Roman, 46, stole items from the store and, when confronted by an employee, pointed what the victim believed was a black pistol at them.
Roman was later located at his residence and taken into custody.
A search of his home yielded clothing matching the description provided by the victim as well as two black pistol-style BB guns.
Roman was charged with first-degree robbery, sixth-degree larceny, first-degree reckless endangerment, first-degree threatening, second-degree breach of peace, and interfering with an officer.
He was held on a $250,000 bond and appeared in court on March 19 at 9 a.m.
