BPD: Man charged after threatening victim with gun

BETHLEHEM — An Albany man was charged on Feb. 18 after, police say, he “threatened a victim by displaying a firearm if the victim did not pay … $100.”

The encounter took place at the Glenmont Walmart, at 311 Route 9W, on Jan. 29, according to a release from Bethlehem Police who worked with Albany Police to make the arrest.

Alden R. Grey, 42, was charged with two felonies — first-degree robbery and criminal possession of a firearm — and with two misdemeanors: second-degree menacing and petit larceny.

Grey was arraigned in Bethlehem Town Court by Judge Erin Lynch and remanded to Albany County’s jail. A return date was set for March 18 at 4 p.m.
