Man arrested for robbery

 

 

A 33-year-old Tavernier man was arrested Thursday following an investigation into a robbery that occurred on Sept. 11 at an Upper Keys gas station.

 

Aaron Vincent Cipollone was charged with robbery and aggravated assault.

 

Cipollone entered the Marlin gas station at 88601 Overseas Highway at approximately 1:38 a.m. He went to purchase a candy bar and a drink when he displayed a knife, threatened to stab the clerk, and grabbed cash from the register. The clerk drew his own knife and stabbed Cipollone in the arm, who in turn fled with the candy bar, but no money.

 

Cipollone was identified as the suspect in the ensuing investigation.

 

Warrants were obtained and he was booked into jail on Thursday.
