A St.Joseph man has been arrested and charged after allegedly forcing another man at gunpoint to give him a ride.

Commander Jim Connors of the St Joseph Police Department says Vincent Green, 29, is charged with robbery in the first degree.

Connors say the victim, a 37-year-old St Joe man, reported walking to his vehicle on St Joseph Avenue on Tuesday July 7.

The victim says he was approached by a man who produced a handgun and said the victim was “about to have a bad day.”

The assailant told the victim he wanted a ride to see his son at 22nd and Jules. The victim says he complied.

Detective Paul Gatewood headed the investigation and was able to get the subject identified. He was arrested Wednesday and is now being held in lieu of $25 thousand bond.

Arraignment is scheduled Tuesday, July 17.
