Old Bridge Man Convicted In Armed Pharmacy Robbery: Prosecutor

Old Bridge, NJ - A man was convicted in an armed robbery of an Old Bridge pharmacy where he was a regular customer in 2013, the Middlesex County Prosecutor's Office said.

Jason Prontnicki, 45, from Bayonne was convicted of armed robbery, possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose, and unlawful possession of a weapon, all stemming out of the April 29, 2013 robbery. He robbed the Woods Pharmacy on Texas Road in Old Bridge, where he was recognized by the owner because he was a customer at the pharmacy.

Prontnicki entered the pharmacy and threatened employees with a lug wrench, prosecutors said. He left without taking anything when employees told him the police were on their way.

He faces 10 to 20 years when he is sentenced on Nov. 18.
