A 40-year-old man was charged Sunday night with the Jan. 11 robbery of the South Transit Street Sunoco station.

According to Lockport police, David P. Smith, who gave police a Niagara Falls address but whom police say has no permanent address, was found and charged with the robbery, in which he is alleged to have demanded money from the clerk at the gas station then fled.

The station had been robbed a few days prior, as well, but Smith has not been charged in connection with that crime, according to his arrest report.

Smith has also been wanted by New York State Parole since Dec. 11, according to LPD for violation of parole conditions.

Smith is slated to appear in Lockport City Court Wednesday morning.
