“Sentencing on the matter was deferred for no more than 60 days at the request of the defense,” said Assistant District Attorney Thomas Gannon. He added that the defense requested a mental health evaluation for Nagy.
Nagy is alleged to have walked into Wawa on Old Bristol Pike around 3:30 a.m. on July 2 and pointed a butcher knife at the clerk while demanding money, court papers say.
Police said Nagy told a clerk to hurry up as they gathered the money from the register and even pointed the large knife at another employee before fleeing the store. Other staff members and one customer were reported to be in the store at the time.

A store employee testified at Nagy’s preliminary that he was “scared” when the 26 year old held the knife at him.
Surveillance video from the store showed Nagy hung around the store about an hour-and-a-half before the robbery, court papers say.
Police said they arrested Nagy in Bensalem the day after the robbery.
