Baldwinsville man charged with robbery arraigned in county court
A Baldwinsville man accused of robbing a bank near Syracuse University in December was arraigned in Syracuse County Court Tuesday on related charges.
Nicholas Fiorini, 20, was indicted Feb. 20 on four counts: second-degree robbery, third-degree robbery and fourth-degree grand larceny, all felonies, and for misdemeanor petit larceny.
Fiorini is currently being held at the Onondaga County Justice Center on $100,000 cash or bond for the petit larceny.
Syracuse police arrested and charged Fiorini with robbing the State Employee Federal Credit Union on South Crouse Avenue on Dec. 20. The credit union is located next to the Orange bar and Hair Trends. He’s also accused of robbing an M&T bank in Manlius three days after.
Officers arrested Fiorini after a witness gave them a license plate number and a description of Fiorini’s car, which he used to flee from the M&T bank robbery. The officers found Fiorini in a hotel room at the Clarion Suites, nearly 15 miles away from the M&T bank.
Charges against Fiorini for unlawful use of a motor vehicle are still pending.
