Police responded to reports of a robbery at a Dollar General on New Kings Road at 8:15 a.m. and when they arrived, the clerk said a man, later identified as Hunt, brandished a knife and a gun before demanding money.
The clerk, police said, put money in a store branded bag, which also contained Oreo cookies and a Mountain Dew.
Hunt then fled the business on a bicycle before being spotted by officers on the lookout for the suspect.
During a press conference on Monday morning, Sergeant Harvey Baker, IV said the responding officer chased the suspect on foot before losing sight of him near a wooded area.
Moments later, Sgt. Baker said, he was seen walking down a nearby road.
During a search, police located the money, Oreos and Mountain Dew.
Police also located the mask and hooded sweatshirt Hunt wore during the robbery, as well as a gun and knife.
Hunt was taken to the Duval County Jail without incident.
Sgt. Baker thanked the officers and a canine unit who all assisted in the search and arrest of Hunt.
