"He obviously doesn't have any fear or concerns about confront individuals in the middle of the day and taking money from the registers," said Officer Jeff Miller with the HPD Robbery Division. "He is threatening to have a handgun. It's been my experience that it isn't unusual at all for violence to escalate while an individual is committing robberies."
