"She then produced a demand note and made verbal demands for the money as she indicated that she was armed with a handgun," he said. "The employees complied with the demands of the perpetrator and after receiving an undisclosed amount of cash, she fled in an unknown direction."

White, 25, was arrested the same day, according to online records. It was an interview with him that led authorities to Levy three days after the robbery, according to the MDJ.
