Narrative: On 4/13/19 at approximately 9:41 p.m. Amsterdam Police were dispatched to an armed robbery at Kings Food and Fuel located at 72 Guy Park Avenue in the City of Amsterdam. Responding officers interviewed the clerk who reported a male in a black hooded sweatshirt had entered the store minutes prior brandishing a large kitchen knife demanding money from the clerk. The suspect did then steal cash from the store’s register and fled the store west on Guy Park Avenue. A description of the suspect was sent to all patrols, but the suspect could not be located that night. Responding detectives secured surveillance footage from the store and were able to refresh the images to get a clear picture of the suspect. On Tuesday April 23rd at approximately 2:00 p.m. a patrol officer observed a subject fitting the description of the suspect walking on Guy Park Avenue near Brandt Place. The subject was brought back to police headquarters for an interview. A subsequent investigation at the subject’s residence revealed evidence of the crime. During the interview with the subject at police headquarters he did make admissions of guilt in this incident. The suspect now identified as 22 year-old, Breon M. Poole, was arrested at police headquarters and held for arraignment in Amsterdam City Court on the above charges.
