EVERETT, Wash. — Everett police arrested a man yesterday morning, Sept. 9, for attempting to rob a convenience store and stealing a car.
According to an Everett Police Department post on Facebook, the attempted robbery happened at 8:19 a.m. at a store near the 800 block of N Broadway.
Police were sent to the store after an employee reported the attempted robbery.
According to the Everett Police Department, the man came into the store with a weapon and asked them to give him “the cash,” and that if they did not, that he would “kill” the employee.
After the attempted robbery, the suspect took off in a car, according to Everett police.
