POTSDAM — A Massena man faces robbery and weapon charges after allegedly stealing money and threatening someone during a domestic dispute on Sunday, according to state police.

Troopers responded to County Route 34 around 4 p.m. that day for an alleged domestic dispute.

An investigation reportedly determined Richard A. Christy, 28, and the victim were involved in a verbal argument regarding Christy stealing money from the victim.

Police said the victim watched Christy steal the money, confronted him about it, and called law enforcement.

At that point Christy allegedly took the phone away from the victim, not allowing the victim to tell law enforcement the issue.

As the victim was attempting to keep Christy at the residence until law enforcement arrived, Christy displayed a knife, making stabbing motions towards the victim, and stabbing the door causing damage, police said.

Christy fled the scene and was located by the St. Lawrence County Sheriff's department, troopers said. Christy reportedly attempted to run away from the deputy, but the deputy caught and detained him for troopers.

Christy was charged with first-degree robbery, third-degree criminal possession of a weapon, second-degree assault, aggravated family offense, fourth-degree criminal mischief, seventh-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, and controlled substance in a non-original container, police said.

He was arraigned in the Town of Potsdam Court and remanded to St. Lawrence County jail on $10,000 bail.

St. Lawrence County Sheriff's Department assisted with the scene.
