Police officials have released information about a suspect arrested in connection with a robbery which occurred in the 111th Precinct in late February.

JD’s Saloon at 208-11 35 Ave. was held up at gunpoint Feb. 27, with the unknown suspect fleeing from the establishment with about $700 in cash, according to police. But now the NYPD has identified the suspect as Peter Pocius, a 38-year-old who lives only about eight blocks away, at around 211th Street and 45th Road, from where the crime took place.

Pocius is charged with robbery and criminal possession of a weapon, according to police.
