A West North Street woman got clean — and cleaned out — in the course of taking a shower.
Reaching for a towel, the woman discovered a gun aimed at her face.
According to New Castle police, Robert Shawn Carder, 21, of Ellwood City entered her home Tuesday. Carder reportedly demanded $800 that she had in her possession.
Carder reportedly told her if she didn’t hand over the cash, he would shoot her.
The 23-year-old woman gave the money to Carder. He fled on foot toward Westview Terrace Apartments.
The woman told police Carder used to stay at her home and returned occasionally.
Police later apprehended Carder, who lives at 424 Lawrence Ave., Apartment 1. He faces three felony charges of robbery, prohibited possession of a firearm and carrying a firearm without a license. He also is charged with three misdemeanors: terroristic threats, theft and recklessly endangering another person.
Carder is in the Lawrence County jail on a $10,000 bond.
His preliminary hearing is set for 9:30 a.m. June 17 before District Judge Melissa A. Amodie.
