They believe he walked into the convenience store with a gun, pointed the weapon at a clerk and took off with cash from the register.
Several people called in tips after a surveillance photo was broadcast on local news stations. Police said Avila’s probation officer was able to use information from those tips to confirm the robber was Avila.
Avila was charged with aggravated robbery, and police believe he might have been involved in another robbery case. He has not yet been charged in the second case.
