Cash and lottery tickets, some items a would-be robber thought he was going to get away with. But police were able to catch up with the 21-year old not far from the crime scene.

It was a little after midnight when police say Samuel Martinez walked into the convenience store at Leopard and Baldwin with a shotgun. A clerk was able to remember the suspect's license plate, and police found Martinez at an apartment complex in the 700  block of Omaha, just a couple of blocks away.

Martinez is charged with aggravated robbery.

Its funny when one trys to rob a store for lottery tickets, you idiot, they keep track of the ones stolen. Just incase your mental here is an example: you didnt get caught after the robbery and won some un-godly amount on a lotto ticket, see what would happened if you cashed it in, stupidity at its finest. Every city in America has a few, not just CC, so I dont blame the town, just the idiots that dont have common sense to be responsible citizens.

Poll

The Corpus Christi City Council has voted to negotiate with the National Swim Center to replace the Coliseum. Do you agree?

  • Yes.
  • No. Just demolish the building.
  • No. Rennovate it and use as a public venue, as it has been.
  • I liked the Brass/Ice Skating Rink idea.
