A Jacksonville, Florida man is in custody after holding up a store clerk with a gun, demanding money, and fleeing with cookies and a soda.

Jamell Hunt, 18, was arrested by the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office on Monday morning and charged with armed robbery with a firearm and resisting arrest.

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.
