Anthony Lopez was arraigned in State Supreme Court, and has entered a not-guilty plea.  He is being held on $10,000 bail.  He is scheduled to appear November 3 before Judge Michael Corriero in New York State Supreme Court.

The victim in the September 30 incident, who asked that his name not be used, told The WIRE that he was on the way from the subway station to Westview, walking on the promenade, nearing the Island House swimming pool.  "There was a young person, alone, and he just approached me and asked for money.  He said, 'Give me the money,' and I took out my wallet and he said, 'Give me the wallet and credit cards and everything.' I tried to negotiate with him but he grabbed my wallet, showed me a pistol, and he asked me to leave, and said that if I turned around or did something strange he was going to shoot.

"I ran to 625 Main Street and asked the doorman to call the police right away.  The Public Safety Department did a very good job - showed up within a few minutes.  While I was talking to the security people I saw the young person running 40-50 feet away.  I jumped into the police car, and the police made an arrest."

Public Safety Chief Jim Fry, describing this incident to the RIOC Board of Directors last week, did not name Lopez, but said the underage youth involved would be charged as an adult.  He said that the alleged perp had not been armed when captured, but the weapon, which had been "ditched," was discovered after a search by Public Safety Officers.  When he was asked if there might be a connection between the September 15 and September 30 incidents, Fry was cautious but seemed to suggest they might be related.
