A Batavia man with several prior arrests admitted in County Court on Wednesday to stealing another person's wallet at knifepoint in August.
Robert J. Probst, 34, of Maple Street, pled guilty to robbery, 2nd.
As a prior felony offender, he faces up to 15 years in prison.
Probst was arrested in October, accused of confronting a 22-year-old victim on Pearl Street and taking his wallet.
Over the past few years, Probst has been arrested on various lesser charges in Batavia, but his prior felony offense for sentencing purposes is a 2002 robbery of a business in Batavia.
