Of all the gas stations, in all the towns, in all the world, he walks into his own. . . .

Port Matilda man pleads guilty to robbing former employer

Posted: 5:09pm on Sep 22, 2011

A Port Matilda man pleaded guilty this week to using a knife to rob a Patton Township gas station where he used to work.

Caleb M. Black, 19, entered his plea before Judge Bradley P. Lunsford on Tuesday. Black is scheduled for a pre-sentence investigation on Oct. 11.

Township police said Black robbed the Sheetz at 1781 N. Atherton St., State College, around 3 a.m. May 28. Police said he was wearing dark-colored clothes and had a dark bandana over his face when demanded money and displayed a knife from the clerk.

That clerk told police she recognized Black but thought he was joking until he showed her a knife, according to the affidavit filed by township police.

Police said they located him soon after in the wooded area between Walmart and Woodycrest Street. He admitted to the robbery, telling police he needed the money for “everyday things,” police said.
