October 21, 2009

Surveillance video shows the robber pointing a gun at a clerk on Monday and demanding money.

The clerk started crying and talked to the robber about God.

That's when the suspect broke down.

They prayed together. The two hugged.

Police say the suspect then put the clerk in the restroom and made off with 20 dollars. The robber turned himself in yesterday.
