A Warren teen remains behind bars on charges stemming from a January robbery of a downtown gas station.

Henry J. Viator, 19, waived his right to a preliminary hearing on Wednesday on two counts of robbery and a count of theft.

City of Warren police charged Viator late last month.

According to the affidavit of probable cause, city officers were dispatched to the Hickory St. Kwik Fill on a report of a panic alarm.

Police say they were advised that a male “came into the store demanding money while advising that he (had) a gun.”

Witness statements and video footage helped police develop a description of the suspect — a male “wearing a black ballcap, a black Black Lives Matter facemask, a black Steelers zip-up hooded jacket, ripped jeans and sneakers.”

Police say in the affidavit that video footage also helped them to “recreate the male’s steps upon fleeing from Kwik Fill” and report that a “black semiautomatic replica Daisy Powerline 426 BB gun” and the facemask were recovered and sent to the state police lab.

City police heard back from the state two days later. “The report stated,” according to the affidavit, “that the DNA profile obtained from the stain sample from inside the facemask” allegedly identified Viator as a “match.”

Police then sought a search warrant for a DNA sample from Viator, which confirmed the match in a February report.

Viator remains in the county on $75,000 bail, according to online court records. His next court date — formal arraignment — is set for June 1.
