A homeless man was arrested in Carle Place Friday after he tried to steal a new pair of sneakers from a shoe store and then threatened to stab an employee who confronted him.

Police say Michael Everett, 63, tried on sneakers at the DSW on Old Country Road at around 1:30 p.m. and attempted to leave with them still on.

When an employee intervened, police say Everett threatened to stab her. The employee then called 911.

Police say he was arrested a short time later. No injuries were reported.

Everett is set to face a judge for robbery charges sometime Saturday morning.
