Middlesex County Prosecutor Andrew C. Carey said that a 45-year-old man was found guilty today of robbing a pharmacy in Old Bridge more than three years ago.
Jason Prontnicki, of Bayonne, was convicted of armed robbery, possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose and unlawful possession of a weapon during the robbery on April 29, 2013.
Prontnicki is facing a prison term of 10 to 20 years for the crimes. He is scheduled to be sentenced on November 18, 2016.
During a trial in Somerville before Superior Court Judge Robert Reed, Middlesex County Assistant Prosecutor Jason Boudwin presented evidence and testimony showing that the defendant entered the pharmacy and threatened a store employee with a lug wrench.
Prontnicki fled without out taking any property when the store employee warned him that police were alerted and would be arriving soon.
He was arrested a short time later in Woodbridge.
