SPRINGFIELD – Police charged a one-armed man with unarmed robbery early Wednesday afternoon following an incident that occurred about noon on Wednesday a block away from the police station.
The suspect, Manuel Hernandez, 28, of 52 Avon Place, goes by the street name of Lefty, Sgt. John M. Delaney said.
Hernandez robbed a 58-year-old man of his wallet at the corner of Chestnut and Mattoon streets about noon, Delaney, aide to Police Commissioner William J. Fitchet said. The wallet contained $354 in cash, he said.
The victim reported the robbery at police headquarters, 130 Pearl Street, and provided a description of the suspect.
Sgt. Mark Rolland spotted Hernandez a short time later on Worthington Street and arrested him, Delaney said. The victim identified Hernandez as the man who robbed him.
Police recovered the victim's wallet -- including the $354 in cash -- from Hernandez's pocket.
Hernandez entered an innocent plea at his arraignment Thursday in Springfield District Court. He was ordered held on $10,000 bail and is due to appear in court again on Aug. 12 for a bind-over hearing to determine if his trial will take place in district or superior court.
