A man wanted for allegedly threatening the manager of a Manhattan Duane Reed with a knife while he robbed the store to the tune of $2,200 items will only be charged as a misdemeanor under new 'woke' Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg's new policies.
William Rolon, 43, who has a lengthy record, allegedly strolled into the Lower East Side Duane Reade in the early morning hours of Saturday, January 8 and began filling a plastic garbage bag with cold medicine and other merchandise.
When a female manager approached Rolon Saturday, he brandished a pocket knife at her.
'F**k you, I'm taking everything,' he said, according to police.
Rolon and a second person, who has yet to be identified, fled with $2,209 worth of goods.
The brazen criminal even returned to the same store again later that day to take more cold medicine - an ingredient often used to make crystal meth - some paper towels and other items, court papers said.
The store manager immediately called the police and Rolon was arrested. Cops say they recovered a small package of heroin that allegedly dropped out of his sock.
He was charged with first-degree robbery and criminal weapons possession but had the robbery charge later dropped for two counts of petit larceny and other low-level offenses.
First-degree robbery in New York State carries a sentence of between five and 25 years in a state prison, but petit larceny carries a maximum sentence of just one year in jail and a $1,000 fine.
Rolon's record dates back to 1991 and includes charges of rape, robbery, assault and drug dealing, according to reports.

meh. Get what you voted for.
There goes the next Demonrat President.
The concept of the Useful Idiot has never been more appropriate than describing today’s Democrat voters in Democrat-governed large cities.
Like any Demonicrat, Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg gives aid and comfort to the domestic and foreign enemies of the United States. And the rest of the Demonicrats and RINOcrats will let him do it.
Maybe he is a relative of Braggs or Adams.
Looks like it's too hot for the Daily Mail? Only 2 comments. Both are tagged as from 2 years ago? Both of those benign.
Almost as head shaking was to see all of these NY officials wearing masks in all of the recent photos.
Not anything new, they have been doing this since the ‘60s. Thank the ACLU.
'F**k you, I'm taking everything,' he said, according to police.
The proper response to that in "The Real World" would've been...
'F**k you, no you're not.' BANG!
SPJNK.
WTH is “petit” larceny????????????
If they are voting these people in, then they are getting what they voted for. If they didn’t they had better start questioning the election process.
Yeah...I looked it up....
I’m 74 years old and the only times I’ve ever heard “petit” was when talking about a small, cute girl......
I’ve heard the word “petty” used for little or small crimes or actions...
Bingo! How can we get mad at a guy who is only doing his masters’ work? Can you say Cloward-Piven?
'BANG! F**k you, no you're not.' BANG!'
Our response differs, slightly.
BACK TO 1991 ????
THAT is 32 years-— HE IS 43 now?
11 at first arrest ?????
IMO-—Candidate for firing squad.
