A staff member said they were afraid Myrick was going to shoot them, their co-workers, and customers who were standing in line. 

After the call, officers searched the area and located Myrick on Terrace Place near 20th Avenue South.  

An affidavit states Myrick was taken into custody and charged with one count of felony robbery. He remains in the Metro Jail on $10,000 bond.
