An Altoona man has been accused of an armed robbery at a convenience store in Huntingdon County.  Arrested was 33-year-old James Bogel.  The robbery occurred in Warriors Mark Township when Bogel allegedly entered the store, requested lottery tickets and cigarettes, before taking merchandise without paying.  Reportedly, he then brandished what appeared to be a firearm.  He demanded the store clerk hand over keys to the store’s game machines, and took cash from a PA Skill machine, before fleeing.  Authorities also learned the getaway vehicle used in the robbery had been stolen earlier.  Bogel is facing charges including first-degree felony robbery, terroristic threats and other related counts.   He is currently in the Huntingdon County Prison.  Bail has been set at $500,000.
