UPDATE: Nicolas Holbert’s hearing was continued at the request of the commonwealth as they have to subpoena the victim in this case. A new hearing date has not been set yet.
WHAT WE FIRST REPORTED:
A Clearfield County man charged with robbery is due in court today for a preliminary hearing.
22-year-old Nicholas Holbert of Osceola Mills also faces charges of possession of an instrument of crime and theft by unlawful taking for an incident on July 16th on Pompano Drive in White Township. Troopers were dispatched at 5:23 PM to investigate a robbery and met with the victim, an 18-year-old Indiana man, who claimed he was walking away from a group of friends when Holbert placed him in a chokehold, pressed a pistol into his side and demanded his wallet and Rolex wristwatch. Holbert returned the $450 and the wristwatch in the overnight hours.
Holbert has been free on $5,000 bond. The hearing is scheduled for 10:00 AM at District Judge Anthony Sottile’s office.
