A Juneau man who allegedly stole money from his former employer by threatening a store clerk with a knife had those charges dismissed, but was sentenced recently on several other cases.
Eric Rivera, 23, pleaded guilty to criminal trespass in an April 19 arrest and was sentenced to 10 days in that case with credit for time served, and will remain on probation until May 1, 2018.
Rivera’s charges of robbery and assault stemming from a May 30 arrest in which he allegedly stole a bank deposit bag from his former place of employment at knifepoint have been dismissed, according to court records. An employee of Taku Harley-Davidson in the 200 block of South Franklin Street had reported that Rivera came into the store and demanded she give him all the money, pulling a knife and threatening to hurt her.
