I'd be shocked if it wasn't Reading.A Reading man is in Berks County Prison after allegedly trying to rob an 8-year-old girl at knifepoint in the city, court documents show.
Jackenzy Pierre, 18, of the 900 block of Perry Street was arraigned Tuesday before District Judge Thomas H. Xavios on charges of robbery, terroristic threats, simple assault and harassment. He is in jail in lieu of $50,000 bail. A hearing has been set for Aug. 23.
An affidavit of probable cause filed by Reading police gives this account:
The girl was walking in the 1200 block of Clover Street Tuesday about 4:25 p.m. with $5 she'd been given to buy groceries at a nearby corner store.
As she walked by, a man sitting on a lawn chair in a backyard said, "Give me all your money."
The man was holding a 6-inch kitchen knife in front of his chest when he demanded the money, police said
