According to the BSO, the suspect, who walked into the station holding a black garbage bag next to his leg, grabbed a Snickers bar and placed it on the counter before pulling a long gun out of the bag and pointing it at the attendant and demanding her cell phone.
The attendant, who was behind protective glass, recognized the suspect as a regular customer and gave him the middle finger, the BSO said. The video didn't capture her gesture, the BSO said.
