MAGNA, Utah (AP) - Police say a robbery suspect was arrested in a Salt Lake City suburb after they found him running down the street with a ski mask covering his face and a gun in one hand and part of a cash register in the other hand.
Unified Police Lt. Justin Hoyal says two officers caught the suspect even before the robbery Friday afternoon at a Magna convenience store was reported by an employee in a 911 call.
Hoyal says the suspect ran away when they tried to stop him but was apprehended outside a nearby home.
Scott Trumble is accused of demanding money from a store clerk at gunpoint. The suspect asked for more money, but became frustrated after being told there was no more money and left.
The 33-year-old Trumble was arrested for investigation of aggravated robbery.
Hoyal says the suspect was found carrying the coin compartments from the till.
