Please Police take 3 to 4 minutes to get here, I would appreciate if you Ring the alarm a minute after I am gone... make sure the money doesn't blow up on my way out." Alfonseca told WTKR-TV the incident wasn't a robbery because he "politely" requested money and didn't threaten the clerk. "She could have said 'no,' and I could have left," he said. Alfonseca is scheduled for a preliminary hearing June 12. Advertisement
