A St. Joseph man is accused of assaulting and robbing a man at Krug Park.

Mickey Nyman, 24 is charged in Buchanan County with a class-D felony of stealing.

According to court documents, on July 31 Nyman and a co-defendant are accused of luring a victim to Krug Park with the intent of robbing him. Det. Frank Till with the St. Joseph Police Department said once the victim arrived Nyman distracted him while the co-defendant approached from out of sight.
