A man was arrested after he allegedly threatened a store clerk at gunpoint, the Randolph County Sheriff s Office said.
On Wednesday, Feb. 3, William Patrick Poston, 34, reportedly entered the Mountain View Mart in Sophia, pulled a gun from his coat pocket and threatened the clerk, according to a press release from the Sheriff s Office. Poston and the clerk previously dated, the release said.
Once deputies arrived, Poston had left the store. While deputies were trying to obtain an arrest warrant, someone called 911 from the area of Summey Town Rd. and Ross Wood Rd. in Asheboro about a car matching the description of the one Poston was driving.
