On Thursday, Jan. 28, West Springfield Police arrested Nathan “Nate” J. Marrin, formerly of West Springfield, for an alleged assault and robbery the prior day.
A warrant was issued for Marrin’s arrest after police received a report that a man - allegedly Marrin - had assaulted someone at a Westfield Street (Route 20) residence in the area of Sorrento’s, Classic Burger, and Dunkin,’ police said.
