PUTNAM, Conn. (AP) -- A 20-year-old Woodstock man was arrested early Tuesday in the shooting of a Webster, Mass., man who was wounded in a robbery while he waited in line to buy a PlayStation 3 game console in Putnam.
State police arrested William J. Robertson shortly before 4 a.m. Tuesday on several charges including attempted murder and robbery. He was being held on $1 million bond pending arraignment in Danielson Superior Court.
An arrest warrant has been prepared for a second suspect, 17-year-old Andrew Patnaude, whose last known address was in Putnam, state police said.
State police had searched an area in Putnam early Tuesday looking for Patnaude. The search by state police, Putnam police and police dogs turned up nothing.
Michael Penkala, 21, was shot by two gunmen who tried to steal his cash as he waited outside Wal-Mart in Putnam early Nov. 17.
Penkala said he dialed 911 on his cell phone when he saw the gunmen wearing bandanas over their faces, carrying guns.
The thieves ordered everyone in line to throw possessions and cash on the ground or put them into two bags the gunmen held.
Penkala held onto a wallet in his pocket that held more than $2,500 in cash. He refused to give up his money and was shot.
Penkala is still recovering from his injuries.
