Police arrested 50-year-old Calvin Groce after he robbed a Kwik Shop at 27th and W street early this morning.

The clerk reported a man entered the store with a bandana covering his face, walked around the counter and grabbed alcohol and cigarettes all worth more than $760.

The man told the clerk to “be cool” and held his hand under his clothing like he had a weapon.

Officers found Groce on a porch nearby and he matched the description provided by the clerk.

Groce ran from officers and was eventually taken into custody, after he was tazed.

Police found the stolen items in his bag. Groce was arrested for robbery and failure to comply.
