A suspect arrested in an attempted robbery at Newark Airport was also on the Drug Enforcement Administration's Most Wanted list, authorities announced on Tuesday.

Ernesto Rodriguez-Zazueta, 46, went in a Blue Wire Electronics store Friday morning and stuck a pen in the back of an employee to mimic a weapon, according to Port Authority spokesman Joseph Pentangelo.

Rodriguez-Zazueta struggled with the victim and he resisted arrest when police arrived, Pentangelo stated. One officer was treated at a nearby hospital for minor injuries.

Rodriguez-Zazueta gave police several fake names but when authorities found out his true identity, they discovered a federal arrest warrant issued by the DEA for drug sales, according to Pentangelo.

He was charged with robbery, resisting arrest and hindering apprehension.
