12-Year-Old Charged After Robbing Gas Station Clerk (Video)

MICHIGAN- A 12-year-old boy was arrested and charged after holding up a store clerk at gunpoint last week, police said.

Police released surveillance footage, which has gone viral, shows the juvenile waking into the gas station and waiting for the clerk to call on him as he waited to the side of the line.

The suspect demanded money from the female store clerk, who was reportedly in shock, asking the juvenile if he was “serious”. The boy then became upset and fired a shot into the ceiling of the store.

Police later arrested the boy and found the gun used in the robbery.

He’s currently in juvenile detention and has been charged with armed robbery, three counts of assault with a deadly weapon and discharge of a firearm in a building, according to reports.
