Authorities: Boy, 12, robs store with a toy gun

DEFUNIAK SPRINGS, Fla. – A 12-year-old boy has been arrested after allegedly pointing what turned out to be a toy gun at a convenience store clerk in northern Florida. The Walton County Sheriff's Office said that the boy walked into the store Thursday. Authorities said the boy pointed a wood barreled, long gun at the clerk and demanded money from the cash register. After handing him an undisclosed amount of money, the clerk told deputies the boy said thank you and left.
A deputy on patrol saw the boy walking on a highway. The boy attempted to run before being stopped.
Authorities said they found the money and toy weapon. The boy was first transported to the Walton County Jail, and later transferred to the Department of Juvenile Justice in Crestview.

he....still robbed a store, and toy guns nowadays look like the real thing

he can brag about it as a teen.

"I robbed a store when I was only 12 years old."

At least he was polite enough to say "Thank You", most people never say that.
