One employee told officers that Blake Montroy, 18, was carrying baskets from the store out the front entrance full of items. As both employees followed Carson to get a better view, Montroy dropped the stolen items, pulled out a knife, and threatened to stab them.
Montroy told officers that he was at home and really wanted snacks and alcohol, so he used 7-Eleven baskets and ran out of the store. When he saw the employees running after him, he dropped the baskets and ran.
The teen stole a total of $131.89 in alcohol and snacks from the gas station, according to officials.
Police found Montroy with the knife and arrested him on charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon without the intent to kill, petit theft from a merchant ranging from $100 to $750, and possession of a controlled substance. Montroy was taken to the Lee County Jail.
