According to MCSO spokesperson Adam Linhardt, Cipollone, a Tavernier resident, entered the gas station at 88601 Overseas Hwy., went to purchase a candy bar and a drink and then displayed a knife, threatening to stab the clerk.
Linhardt said Cipollone also grabbed cash from the register.
That’s when the clerk drew his knife and stabbed Cipollone in the arm, Linhardt said.
Cipollone made it out of the store with the candy bar, but no money, deputies said.
He’s facing charges of robbery and aggravated assault.
