Police see 2-day rash of holdups; lone arrest

A 19-year-old man tried to hold up a food shop at Glenbrook Square without a weapon about 11:30 a.m. Wednesday. According to police spokesman, the man got into an argument with the clerk of Yogurt Express and walked away without any money before he was stopped in Sears.
Police said Dwaylian Gray walked up to the clerk at the yogurt shop and asked whether the store had any cameras. The clerk said no, and Gray then told her he was robbing the store and wanted money from the cash register.
Gray moved his hand to his hip as if he had a gun, but the clerk refused to give him any money. Gray allegedly asked the clerk whether she was afraid, and the clerk responded, “I fear only God,”
The two continued arguing, and Gray pulled out a pen and paper, wrote a hold-up note and gave it to the clerk. But the clerk still refused to give him any money.
Gray left a short time later. He was unarmed when he was stopped in Sears. He was arrested and charged with armed robbery because he threatened that he was armed.
The only logical explanation is that his parents were also brother and sister.
