Police arrested a Queens man Monday morning after he allegedly robbed a Floral Park automotive supply store.
Royce Potts, 46, took windshield wiper blades from Advance Auto Parts at 2 Jericho Turnpike without paying for them at 8:30 a.m. Monday, police said.
When an employee confronted him in the parking lot, Potts allegedly took out a knife and threatened to stab him, police said.
Police apprehended Potts in Bellerose after he fled the parking lot in his car, police said.
Potts is charged with first-degree robbery and third-degree criminal possession of a weapon, both felonies.
He was arraigned Tuesday at First District Court in Hempstead, online court records show. Records did not list information for his defense attorney.
