MADISON, Wis. — Police arrested a man Saturday after he turned himself in following an incident where a would-be robber threatened to blow up a gas station.

According to an incident report, a Madison Police Department detective had developed probable cause to arrest 20-year-old Dawson J. Uhalt for attempted armed robbery. Uhalt turned himself in Saturday morning.

On Jan. 28, a man threatened a store clerk saying “there’s bombs everywhere and if you don’t give me all the money, everyone is going to die,” at a Citgo on Milwaukee Street. He knocked a lottery display off the store’s counter before fleeing the scene.
