Man asks for brownie, then demands cash
Posted by John de Leon
Police are looking for a man who robbed a coffee shop last night.
Police said the man walked into the shop in the 1400 block of East Pine Street just after 11 p.m. and asked the clerk for a brownie. When the clerk returned to the counter with the brownie the man handed her a note demanding cash. The clerk took cash from the till and gave it to the suspect, who then fled east on Pine.
As officers were driving to the robbery call they saw a man who matched the description of the suspect in the 1600 block of 15th Avenue. The man was changing his clothes behind a car with its trunk open.
When the officer turned around to contact him, the man was gone and the car's trunk was closed. The vehicle was impounded.
The suspect is described as a bald black male, about 6 feet tall, approximately 230 pounds.
