WILKES-BARRE — City police arrested Keith Jamie Golomb, 30, on charges he stole chocolate milk from a Turkey Hill store while swinging hedge clippers inside the store early Thursday morning.

Police said they found Golomb, of Plymouth, sitting inside a vehicle in front of the Turkey Hill on Carey Avenue just after 3 a.m.

Police said hedge clippers and a half gallon of chocolate milk were inside the vehicle.

Witnesses told police Golomb stated he was high on methamphetamine and was going to rob the Turkey Hill. He entered the store with hedge clippers he swung and nearly struck several customers, police said.

Police said Golomb went to the counter with a half gallon of chocolate milk and told the clerk he was not going to pay for the item. He left the store and sat in a vehicle where police arrested him.

Golomb was arraigned in Luzerne County Central Court on a single count of robbery. He was released on $5,000 unsecured bail, court records say.
