Your foot is not the best way to stop a truck but then again the alleged robber was in a hurry.
Jessi Singh was behind the counter when this still unidentified man came running into his store. He was running because police say he used a note to rob a Bank of America at 44th Street and Thomas at about 10 a.m.
Police followed the truck to an address on the 2100 block of East Yale, but before they could move in the suspect took off at high speed. Marked police units backed off and let the helicopter take over the pursuit and that's when the suspect did something very curious. He ran into an AM/PM for his nicotine fix.
“Pack of cigarettes, pack of cigarettes,” the alleged suspect said. “Quick, pack of cigarettes. Here here's 20 bucks. Give me a pack of cigarettes. Please, matches need some matches. Keep the change. Come on. Thank you.”
He was in there for only about 20seconds and took off with a squeal of the tires.
“Then I saw a helicopter and police cars an"
The suspect then returned to the area where police first spotted him and officers were able to knock out a tire with stop sticks.
That's when the suspect gave up and police arrested him, finding cash and an unopened pack of cigarettes inside the truck.
After all that he didn't even get to smoke a cig!
