Mount Laurel Police charged Weldon J. Lucas, of Blackwood, with robbery.
Police arrested a Camden County man last week after he allegedly ordered a pizza and held up the delivery person at knifepoint.
Mount Laurel Police said Weldon J. Lucas, 26, of Prospect Avenue, Blackwood, ordered a pizza from Domino's and had it delivered to the rear of a hotel on Diemer Drive just before midnight on June 21.
