Police arrested a Newark man for allegedly robbing the Sudz King laundry on Irvington Avenue on Friday, according to Sgt. Christopher Black.
A clerk told officers that a man came into the store at around 9:30 p.m., went behind the counter and removed money from the register and then attempted to leave. As the employee tried to stop the man, he pushed her to the ground, injuring her wrist, said Black.
The man fled towards Irvington. Det. Barry Zepeda of the Irvington Police Department found a man matching the clerk’s description, and the clerk then positively identified him. Police took 24-year-old Julian Herring of Newark into custody and charged him with robbery and CDS offenses, Black said.
