SALISBURY, Md.- Salisbury police have arrested a suspect accused of holding up the Food Lion supermarket on Snow Hill Road.

Police say that on Sunday, Nov. 22 at around 10:20 p.m., officers were called to the Food Lion to respond to a reported armed robbery in progress. Food Lion employees- none of whom were harmed during the incident- provided the officers a description of the suspect.

The stolen money was returned to the Food Lion, according to police.

 Dale was charged with two counts of armed robbery, two counts of robbery, three counts of first-degree assault, wearing and carrying a firearm, resisting arrest, two counts of false imprisonment, two counts of reckless endangerment, theft (over $ 1,000), trespassing and disorderly conduct.
