A Boston man is facing charges after allegedly brandishing an axe while stealing from a store in Charlestown, Wednesday.

Alan Badgett, 33, was arrested after Boston police responded to Austin Street in Charlestown shortly after noon for a report of a threatening person with an axe.

Police say Badgett allegedly took a juice bottle and multiple water bottles and told security he could take whatever he wanted before running away.

Two officers arrived on Austin Street and were able to de-escalate the situation. Badgett was found with an axe on his person.

Badgett is expected to be arraigned in Charlestown District Court on armed robbery charges Thursday.
