A Pensacola, FL man was arrested as the suspect in a robbery that was caught on video in which a man was shown punching a female in the face Wednesday afternoon when he robbed Boost Mobile cell phone store.
Vincent Lavon Johnson, 41, of Pensacola, was taken into custody around 8:15 a.m. Thursday and charged with felony battery, strong-arm robbery and burglary.
According to a report from Pensacola CBS affiliate WKRG, Pensacola Police Officer Greg Gordon said Johnson entered, walked around, put his phone in his pocket, approached a counter, reached over the counter, and punched store employee Jessica Smith, 35, in the face.
Johnson demanded Smith tell him how to open the register, which she complied and he took some money and the store phone before leaving the business.
Smith, who is pregnant, was taken to a local hospital for treatment of a broken nose from the incident.
