A man was arrested Monday after allegedly committing a robbery against the owner of a gas station in San Felipe, said the Municipal Public Safety Department.
Authorities said at 1:30 p.m. a report was made regarding the robbery at the Bancomer bank branch located at Mar de Cortez Street.
The victim, a 42-year-old woman, said she parked her gray Dodge Dakota and left the vehicle with a bag containing between 250,000 and 300,000 pesos or $11,764.70-$17,647.05, which were the proceeds for weekend’s sales, the police said.
While walking towards the branch a man approached her and brandished a gun to demand money.
The suspect fled on foot but was found and arrested by police officers.
The suspect was identified as Aristeo “Doe,” a Badiraguato, Sinaloa, Mexico, resident.
Authorities seized a 4.5 milimeter caliber bb gun that was in the suspect’s possession.

The victim was identified as Juan Pablo Ochoa Cibrián, 26, who had several shot wounds on his back and head.
According to a 20-year-old man who was riding along with the deceased man on a gray 1996 Toyota Corolla, the suspect was driving a Ford Explorer.
