JACKSONVILLE, BEACH, Fla. -- An armed robbery suspect was arrested in part because of what police said they believe he took to commit his crime.
According to the arrest report from the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office, at about 2:45 a.m. Wednesday, someone walked into the Kangaroo station at Beach Boulevard and 10th Street demanding cash.
The employees told police the suspect had a hand in the pocket of his hoodie, making it appear he was armed.
The suspect reportedly told them to not "be a hero," because he was only after cash.
As he left the store, one of the employees followed him and watched him get into a white vehicle that was parked behind the store.
Just after noon the same day, police spoke with a woman who said she was the suspect's girlfriend.
She told an officer that her boyfriend, 33-year-old Ryan Douglas Harrover, told her he had robbed a gas station, and that he had used her daughter's car to get to and from the scene.
