St. James store owner pulls tire iron on robber

Good morning. I’m James Brierton.

33-year-old Joseph Hogan got into more than he could bargain for yesterday at stationary store on Lake Avenue. The Holbrook man got into a struggle with the store’s owner as he attempted to steal cash from the register. The owner pulled a tire iron on the suspect. Hogan fled but was quickly arrested on-scene.
