NORWICH – A man who has been incarcerated since January for allegedly robbing a local gas station faced the Supreme Court Judge Wednesday to take a deal offered by the District Attorney’s office.

Bernie Infante, Route 8, McDonough, was charged with third degree robbery and petit larceny after allegedly stealing beer from a local Valero station. Following a brief pursuit by a store employee, Infante upgraded his crime by telling the worker “get away or I will shoot you,” thus making the crime a felony.
