AMARILLO, TEXAS -- A 28-year-old man was arrested for robbing an EZ Money store Friday morning, police said.
Travon Lavar Carter was arrested after police located him running from the store.
At about 9:30 a.m., police said a man who was described as wearing a black hoodie, black pants, a blue and black bandana covering his face and covering a black backpack, entered the EZ Money at 2600 West 6th and robbed the clerk.
Police said the man was armed with a black handgun and demanded money.
The clerk, according to police, told the man it would take a couple of minutes to get the money. The man waited as the clerk pressed a silent "hold up" alarm, police said.
