Police believe the man was also involved in a similar incident that happened at the Dunkin' Donuts on East Main Street Saturday night. During that incident, he demanded all the money in the cash drawer of the drive-thru window while claiming he had a gun.
The man was chased away by another customer in the drive-thru before getting any money, according to police.
Police arrested Kyle Witkoski, 38, in connection to both incidents. He faces charges including two counts of first-degree robbery. He was also charged on three outstanding warrants for failure to appear in court.
