Snohomish County Deputies said they arrested a robber who pointed an AK-47 at a convenience store worker in Lake Stevens and demanded money. The clerk complied, and the man left.

Deputies said surveillance showed the robber on a motorcycle, carrying a backpack, where he kept the rifle.

They identified a 30-year-old as the suspect and arrested him at his Lake Stevens home on Thursday. They said the man’s motorcycle, backpack, and rifle — used in the robbery — were in plain view in his open garage.

The suspect was scheduled to make his first court appearance on Friday afternoon.
