Lufkin police said they arrested a man Wednesday morning after he walked into a gas station with a gun and demanded money.
According to the Lufkin Police Department, around 4 a.m, they arrested Deaoute Bogan, 17, in connection to the armed robbery of Lucky’s Convenience Store in the 1700 block of N. John Redditt Drive.
Police said an off-duty Precinct 1 constable heard the vehicle description of the suspect, a light-colored, 4-door sedan with the driver’s side hub cap missing on his radio.
He made a stop on a matching vehicle that contained Bogan and two passengers. The constable held them until LPD officers arrived and took over the stop.
They said he yelled at the cashier “Hey, give me the money!” The cashier opened the drawer for him and he left with an undisclosed amount of cash. Witnesses saw him flee on foot and squeeze through the fence of nearby Pioneer Crossing Apartments where he was picked up by the light-colored, 4-door sedan with the driver’s side hub cap missing.
Surveillance video showed the suspect to be a black male wearing a blue hooded sweatshirt, blue bandana on his face, grey sweat pants with a logo near the thigh area, dark socks and black slide-on shoes.
