Police: Man Arrested in Deer Park CVS, Laundromat Armed Robberies

A Ronkonkoma man was arrested soon after he robbed two Deer Park businesses early Monday morning, police said.

Police say Shawn Goodall, 33, entered the CVS, located at 1944 Deer Park Avenue, and displayed a knife and demanded money at about 3:15 a.m.

Goodall fled the store without proceeds, police said.
