Thomas Henderson, 44, is accused of entering the 7-Eleven in the 800 block of Veterans Highway around 12:35 a.m. on October 25. He walked to the automotive section and then left the store without paying for transmission fluid and a battery cable, according to court papers.

A store employee confronted Henderson in the parking lot, police said. Henderson is accused of threatening to cut the man’s throat and pulling out a knife.

The store workers took photos of Henderson in his yellow Chevrolet Spectrum as he drove off, court papers say.

Police reported that surveillance video of the incident was turned over and verified the accounts from the 7-Eleven.

On Sunday, Henderson arrived to a home in the 3000 block of Glenrose Avenue, went inside and sat on the sofa uninvited, court papers say.

The “terrified” female resident told police Henderson was talking about several things including a missing girl and a man doing jumping jacks in the woods, according to court papers.

The woman reportedly said she did not know Henderson.

The 44 year old left after several minutes and comments from the woman that her boyfriend would be home soon, police said.

Henderson was charged with criminal trespass, robbery, simple assault and retail theft in the two cases. He was arraigned before District Judge Joanne Kline and sent to Bucks County prison on 10 percent of $20,000 for each case.
