A 30-year-old Palmyra man is accused of robbing another man and forcing him to strip at gunpoint.

Winslow police said Dustin Smith faces several charges in connection with the robbery on Sunday evening.

Police say Smith approached a vehicle that was stopped on Abbott Road and allegedly ordered the man to get out of the vehicle at gunpoint. Police Chief Leonard Macdaid says Smith then told the victim to remove his clothes, fired his gun, and assaulted the man, leaving him with facial injuries.

Smith was arrested Wednesday morning at his workplace in Waterville.

The victim was treated and released from the hospital.
