A transient was arrested Thursday night after he robbed a downtown business of an undisclosed amount of money.
Donald V. Brown, 23, no permanent address, was charged with armed robbery.
The incident occurred around 9:30 p.m. at Subway, 100 S. Palafox St. A female employee told police the suspect entered the business and ordered a sandwich. He then went to the counter, grabbed a knife, held it to the 22-year-old woman’s chest, and demanded she open the register.
The victim complied, Brown grabbed money from the register and ran out of the business, said Officer Joshua Hudson.
Lt. Mike McVicker spotted the suspect a short time later running west across Baylen Street, and he was taken into custody. Money taken from the incident was recovered.
