The suspect was said to be armed with two knives and was last seen walking away on Main Street. The suspect was also carrying a gas can.

About an hour and a half later, police responded to a local store after receiving a report of a man causing a disturbance and breaking items inside the business. Police were able to detain the suspect and the victim from the earlier robbery was able to identify him as the man who robbed him. The suspect was booked at Imperial County Jail on charges of Armed Robbery and Burglary.
