ONEONTA – Four gas-station robberies were reported between 1:20 a.m. and 6:20 a.m. today in the city and town of Oneonta, and in Otego, city police and state troopers report.
In one case, the clerk was stabbed in the hand; in at least two of the other cases, the suspect said he was armed, but didn't show a weapon, police said.
According to a release from the Oneonta Police Department, the spree began at 1:20 a.m., when officers were called to the Kwik Fill convenience store, 66 Chestnut St., for a reported attempted robbery.
"The clerk told us the man purchased a snack, and when the register was open, he tried to grab the money," said Oneonta Police Chief Doug Brenner.
