Florida police have made an arrest after video of a vicious robbery was
released showing a man enter a store, assault a pregnant female clerk and
steal cash from the register.
Vincent Lavon Johnson, 41, was caught on camera walking into a Pensacola
Boost Mobile store Wednesday afternoon and scoping out the scene, before
reaching over the counter and punching store employee Jessica Smith, 35, in
the face, authorities said.
Footage then shows Johnson walk behind the counter and demand Smith provide
him with instructions on how to open the cash register.
"Open the register!" he yelled at her. "How do you do it?"
"Oh my God," she replied. "There is a button."
The man is then seen in the video opening the register and stuffing cash
into his pants and leaving the store.
The Pensacola Police Department was able to identify Johnson as the suspect
in the video after receiving several tips following media broadcasts of the
brutal robbery. An individual tipped officers off to a location Johnson
would likely be and an arrest was made early Thursday morning, after the
41-year-old led officers on a brief chase.
He was charged with felony battery, strong-arm robbery and burglary.
Smith, who was seen in the video with a bloodied face, was taken to the
hospital for a broken nose, according to WEAR-TV.
