KANSAS CITY, Mo., Nov. 25 (UPI) -- Police in Missouri said a man who allegedly used a female accomplice's breasts to distract clerks during a robbery was arrested after returning to the scene.

Kansas City police said Laron Pearson, 21, was accompanied by a female who flashed her breasts to store clerks when he allegedly robbed a gas station Nov. 2, the Kansas City Star reported Thursday.

Police said they arrested Pearson Tuesday when the clerks called and identified him as the robber.

Pearson was charged with first-degree robbery.
