CHARLESTON, W.Va. (WCHS) — A man in Charleston has been arrested after allegedly committing a robbery, records said.

After the seller put the clothes inside of Martin’s car, Martin allegedly struck the seller in the face with a bottle of vodka before allegedly telling him to leave, the complaint said. The seller then ran from Martin on foot down the street.
