David Clinton Nevins, 56, of Neptune Township, was apprehended Tuesday, according to information from Public Safety Director Ed Kirschenbaum. Nevins is charged with robbery, two weapons-possession counts and terroristic threats.

Nevins was placed in the Monmouth County Correctional Institution in Freehold, with bail set at $220,000. He was given no option for release on payment of 10 percent.

The East West grocery was held up on the afternoon on November 20 by a suspect heavily disguised and riding a bicycle. Police circulated surveillance stills and video on numerous web sites and social media pages, which they credit with accelerating the pace of the probe.
