State police have arrested a man suspected of robbing a Somerset Township Dollar Tree at knifepoint Saturday.

John Joseph Sigado, 34, of Washington is charged with robbery and related charges. He was placed in the Somerset County Jail on $150,000 cash bail.

Troopers said Sigado entered the Somerset Township store on North Center Avenue at 2:10 p.m. and threatened a clerk with a knife.

Police said Sigado demanded all the money in the store’s safe and cash register. The amount stolen was not disclosed.

Police released a photograph of the suspect taken from a store surveillance camera and asked for the public’s help in finding him.

They tracked Sigado down over the weekend.

A preliminary hearing before Judge Kenneth W. Johnson is scheduled for July 9.
