Officers responded to a robbery call around 2 p.m. at the Planet 420 smoke shop in the 11400 block of West Avenue.
An employee told police her and a friend were inside the store when Marcus walked in with a handgun demanding money and their cell phones, the affidavit states.
As Marcus was leaving, the friend tried to retrieve the stolen money and phone, which led to a fight between the two in the parking lot. The friend was stabbed and transported to the hospital, the affidavit said.
A witness told police Marcus fled the scene in a maroon Nissan Rogue and provided the vehicle’s Texas license plate number, which led to Marcus’ arrest, the affidavit states.
Marcus was booked into the Bexar County Adult Detention Center.
