CENTER TWP — State police arrested Ronald William Steighner Jr., a 34-year-old Butler County man, Friday evening in connection with the armed robbery of a Subway store on Main Street Extension on Wednesday.

Police said Steighner was turned in by a man who contacted police Thursday to say he thought his brother committed the robbery.

The caller had seen surveillance footage released to media. He told police his brother had the same shoes, walk and appearance as the person in the video.

The man tried ordering two 6-inch meatball subs, but was told the restaurant was out of meatballs. Surveillance shows the man then drew a handgun on both workers. He ordered them to the ground. The man then ordered one worker to fill a Subway bag with money. The man took the filled bag and fled on foot. About $115 in various bills and coin rolls were found where the bag spilled, along with the bag.
