The store's owner confronted Marlon Paul Alvarez as he was walking out the door with an odd bulge in his trousers, leading the suspect to hand over the $800 weapon and flee from the scene. The shopkeeper called 911 to report the incident and summon cops, who managed to arrest Alvarez a short time later.
A security video showed that the 19-year-old shoved a couple of different weapons into his trousers before settling on the one he tried to steal. Guess he was just flying by the seat of his pants.
