The strong-arm robbery happened just before 6 p.m. Monday at Tony’s Market in Deerfield Beach, the Broward County Sheriff’s Office said.
An adult male wearing a white tank top and black pants was trying to buy a black and purple Dutch cigar when he became "unhappy with the change he received" and engaged in a verbal altercation with the cashier, according to investigators.
