Zikuski says one suspect, 37-year-old Sherman Norwood of Binghamton, was taken into custody early Saturday. He's been charged with first-degree robbery and criminal possession of a weapon.

Norwood was arrested after police received a disturbance call near 244 Robinson Street around 6 a.m. Saturday.

When officers arrived in the area, Zikuski says Norwood fled in a vehicle with another man. Both men jumped from the moving vehicle but they were apprehended nearby.

Police recovered some suspected heroin and a loaded semi-automatic pistol.
