An employee told Saratoga County Sheriff’s deputies that a man forcibly stole money and threatened the use of a gun. The employee was not injured.
Investigators eventually spotted a suspect vehicle nearby that matched the description given by the victim.
The suspect, Michael Hepp, of Troy, was arrested without incident on a charge of first-degree robbery, a felony.
Hepp was arraigned in the Town of Malta Court, where a judge ordered him held at the Saratoga County jail on $30,000 bail.
