Man Accused Of Robbing Pizza Delivery Driver In Norwalk Arrested: PD

NORWALK, CT — A man accused of robbing a pizza delivery driver in Norwalk last month was arrested Wednesday, according to police.

In a news release, Police Sgt. Ryan Evarts said the department received a report on Feb. 24 at 11 p.m. that a pizza delivery driver was robbed on Meadow Street.

According to Evarts, a phone order was called in to a Norwalk restaurant for food delivery to a specified address on Meadow Street.

When the delivery driver went to that location, he was approached by Harlie Thompson, 29, of Norwalk, who acted as if he was concealing a firearm and pressed it against the driver. He then proceeded to rifle through the driver's pockets and take his belongings, according to Evarts.

After further investigation, police identified Thompson as the accused robber and secured a warrant for his arrest. He turned himself in at police headquarters on Wednesday, Evarts said.

Thompson was charged with first-degree robbery. His bond was set at $20,000 and he is scheduled to appear in court next month, according to Evarts.
