At about 2:43 a.m., police responded to an alarm at Food Mart No. 3, 1505 W. Buffalo Jones Ave. At about the same time, a citizen in the area called and told police he saw an unknown person outside the store acting in a suspicious manner.

Police and a K-9 deputy and dog from the Finney County Sheriff's Office responded to the scene. When officers arrived, they could hear yelling coming from inside, and Scott, who was wearing a black hooded jacket, exited the store, according to police. Officers took him into custody after a short foot pursuit.

After further investigation, police determined that Scott entered the store, brandished a handgun and demanded money from the store clerk. Scott allegedly struck the clerk in the head and threatened him before shooting a single round off from his handgun into the floor. Scott allegedly rummaged through other items in the store and handcuffed the clerk to a utility sink before fleeing the store with an undisclosed amount of money and a flat-screen computer monitor.

The store clerk was treated on scene by the Finney County EMS, but was not seriously injured.
