After receiving multiple tips on a suspect's identity, Akron police have issued a warrant for the arrest of a man wanted for aggravated robbery after he allegedly used a pocket knife to rob a Dollar General Store.

Israel Mendez, 27, of Cuyahoga Falls, entered the store at 1537 Brittain Rd. just after 8 a.m. on Saturday and picked up a few food items, according to Akron police.
