Andrew Angulo, 19, was arrested soon after the victim said he pointed a gun at him and took his money and valuables just before 10:30 p.m. Saturday, Detective Vincent Auteri said.

Police recovered the weapon – a semi-automatic replica starter pistol, Auteri said.

“The robbery appeared to have been the result of a prior dispute between the two former acquaintances,” he said.

Angulo remained held Monday in the Bergen County Jail on charges of first-degree robbery and weapons offenses.

Angulo’s criminal record includes four arrests over barely a month's time in Lyndhurst and Wallington last year on charges of making terroristic threats, resisting arrest, burglary, theft, receiving stolen property and hindering apprehension, among others.

Earlier this year, Angulo swung a golf club at a township police officer before being subdued, authorities said.
