Bloomington police arrested 29-year-old Adam Nardi within hours of him allegedly robbing Hoosier Liquors at 713 West 17th Street, Tuesday night.

Police were alerted to the robbery at 6:23 p.m.
According to Bloomington Police Sgt. Joe Crider Nardi did not display a weapon and no one was hurt during the incident.
Officers were given a description of Nardi and an officer spotted in in a Nissan Altima stopped in traffic at 17th and Maple Street.
Officers found the cash, the jacket he was wearing at the time of the robbery and a syringe in the backseat of the car.
