Struthers police Thursday arrested the man accused of holding up the Country Fair convenience store along North Canfield Niles Road on Jan. 22.

Brandon C. Gaetano, 22, of Afton Avenue, Boardman, is in the Mahoning County jail on a felony count of aggravated robbery.

Gaetano was dressed in dark clothing, gloves and a white bandana over his face when he pointed a handgun toward clerks and made off on-foot with $350, according to a township police report.

Township police were unable to locate Gaetano that night, but later issued a warrant for him, after reviewing surveillance footage from neighboring businesses. Struthers police caught up with him Thursday.

Gaetano is set for arraignment Monday at the county area court in Austintown.
