Two men were arrested on robbery charges Thursday.
Marc M. Gansworth, 30, of Middletown, along with James Koritko, 33, of Bensalem, were charged with robbery in connection with a November 3 incident that happened at a motel in the 3000 block of Veterans Highway (Route 413) in Bristol Township.

Police alleged that Gansworth and Koritko robbed a man after they called him to the motel to get money he was owned.
Once the man arrived to the hotel room, Koritko yelled that he needed to be “taught a lesson,” court papers say.
Gansworth and Koritko pushed the man down on a bed and went through his pockets before he was allowed to leave, police said. Court papers show the two only got $5 out of the man.

The man left the motel and called police.
In a separate case, Gansworth is accused of robbing a man in Bristol Township on October 23, which is the same day a judge in Doylestown sentenced him to probation for an April Fools Day theft and drug paraphernalia case.
