Man arrested for stealing packages at UPS store appears in court

The man arrested after pointing a handgun at several UPS employees and stealing several packages appeared in court Tuesday.

Twenty-three-year-old Adrian Guzman was taken into custody after an armed robbery at a UPS facility back in May.

Guzman appeared for a change of plea and trial setting hearing.

Guzman’s attorney requested another week, after which the state said they would withdraw their plea agreement if more time was given.

His attorney agreed to the terms and the judge ordered Guzman to reappear back in court in one week for a trial setting and change of plea.
