BEAUMONT — A Port Neches man was taken into custody Friday in connection with an aggravated robbery that occurred at a Beaumont CVS on Wednesday.
Chase Floyd, 22, of Port Neches, is being held at the Jefferson County jail with a $50,000 bond.
Jenny Fernandez says it all happened right in front of her eyes.
"I’ve never been in a situation like that, especially with my two year old in the back seat I didn't know what to do," Fernandez said.
Fernandez say’s she recognized the suspect because of his ‘puffy hair’, a description she heard on 12News.
"The cops get out of their car, he's opening his door they're drawing guns. I'm stuck behind this truck looking at two guns," Fernandez said.
"He gets out big poofy hair, green shirt, bare foot and he just backs up to the cops," Fernandez said.
Beaumont police officer Haley Marrow says Chase Floyd was arrested without incident and thanks the public for it's help.
"We're very grateful for the witnesses who saw this happen and were quick enough to remember to get that license plate," Officer Marrow said.
