Oxford man arrested for South New Berlin robbery
SOUTH NEW BERLIN – New York State Police have arrested the man they believe to be responsible for holding up the South New Berlin Quickway at gunpoint.
Monday, Joel L. Lewis, 22, 104 Parker Hollow Rd., Oxford, was charged with first degree robbery, a class B Felony. Lewis was arraigned in the Town of New Berlin Court, and remanded to the Chenango County Correctional Facility in lieu of $50,000 cash.
A masked Lewis allegedly entered the South New Berlin convenience store and demanded money from the cashier Jan. 7.
The lone employee, working at around 7:30 p.m. at the time of the robbery, said he was stocking the shelves in the cooler when he saw a customer come in.
“I asked him, ‘How can I help you?’ He had his arms inside his jacket holding something and then he pulled out a rifle and said ‘Gimme all your money, man,’” said the teenaged clerk, who asked not to be identified.
“He had a gun. It was in his coat and it was pointed right at me,” he said.
Police said they recovered the weapon used in the crime, but did not identify what kind of firearm it was.
New York State Police Investigator Michelle M. Marshall said the gun had been stolen from a vehicle in Otsego County sometime in December.
Marshall said numerous leads received from the community led police to Lewis. The investigator also said Lewis made oral admissions to committing the robbery following his arrest.
