Troopers showed Channel 11 surveillance video from the robbery. It shows the robber pulling out a handgun and pointing it at the two teenage clerks. The video also shows him jumping on the counter two different times as one of the clerks huddled underneath.

A Channel 11 viewer saw the video and called police immediately because he recognized the suspect as his brother, Ronald Steighner.

Police said when they searched Steighner's home they found evidence linking him to the crime. He's being held in jail and is set for a court appearance next week.
