IMPORTANT: Comments that include a personal attack on other commenters will be deleted in their entirety. Your comments are not welcome here if you can't maintain a civil tone.

PLEASE NOTE: There is a 150 word maximum for comments. All comments greater than 150 words in length will be deleted in their entirety.

ALSO NOTE: Derisive name-calling of an individual or group will result in the entire comment being deleted. This includes the terms "stupid" and "idiot" and similar references.

Welcome to our new online comments feature. Before you can join the discussion, you must first register with Disqus and verify your email address.

Once you do, your comments will post after they have been reviewed by a moderator.

We welcome your thoughts and your opinions, including unpopular ones. We ask only that you keep the conversation civil and clean.

Not all comments are deemed printable. Some are disqualified, at the newspaper’s discretion, for a number of reasons. Here are some typical practices to avoid in trying to get your comment printed:

There is a 150 word maximum for comments. All comments greater than 150 words in length will be deleted in their entirety.

Don’t state as a fact something that is unsubstantiated or that our editors wouldn't know to be true.

Don’t presume someone’s guilt in a case when it hasn't been established by a court.

Don’t assail or impugn an identifiable individual or group. If you have that kind of criticism, sign your name and submit it as a Letter to the Editor. (There is some leeway on this in connection with public officials, but it is not unconditional.)

Don’t use profanity. This includes the term “tea bagger.”

Don’t be incendiary or tasteless. Those qualities are subjective, of course, and our editors will be the arbiters.

Do not identify yourself in the main content area of the article content form. Only by enforcing this rule can the moderators prevent unscrupulous commenters from falsely identifying themselves as someone they are not.

Don't type in all caps. It is considered the Internet equivalent of shouting.

In sports articles, do not criticize officiating.

Remember, moderators are not allowed to edit any article comments. If an article comment fails any of the above criteria, the entire comment will be deleted.

We monitor comments Monday - Friday, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. Approval of comments outside these times may be delayed.

NYC man charged with robbing Plattsburgh Domino's

By FELICIA KRIEG Press-Republican

PLATTSBURGH — Police say Christopher Scott leaped the counter at Domino’s Pizza, grabbing a $20 bill and two phones before taking off.

Plattsburgh City Police arrested the New York City man at about 1 a.m. Dec. 5, near Starbucks on Cornelia Street, a short distance from the pizza shop.

Scott, 21, is a Clinton Community College student.

Shortly before 10 p.m. Dec. 4, he allegedly entered Domino’s and ordered food. He reached over the sales counter, trying to pull out the cash drawer, according to City Police. When the drawer wouldn’t open, Scott jumped over the counter and took a $20 bill and a cordless business telephone from the employee, police said.

Then he jumped back over the counter with the money and two phones in hand.

Scott didn’t display a weapon, and no one was injured, police said.

He left the pizza eatery a short time later with the $20 and a phone, police said. Authorities would not say whether Scott paid for or left with the food he had ordered.

Scott was charged with third-degree robbery and fourth-degree grand larceny, both felonies; and second-degree criminal trespassing, a misdemeanor.

He was arraigned in Plattsburgh City Court on Dec. 5 and was taken to Clinton County Jail. His bail was set at $40,000 cash or $80,000 bond. He was still jailed as of Wednesday afternoon.
