On May 10, in the 600 block of S W. W. White Road Charles Peoples, 47, held a Dollar Tree employee at gunpoint and demanded money, said court records.

He was taken into custody after a brief struggle, said police. Officials searched his residents and found the handgun believed to have been used in all three robberies and most of the clothing worn during the robberies.Peoples confessed to the robberies and was booked with an aggravated robbery warrant, assault on a public officer, resisting arrest, possession CS PG 2 less than a gram, and possession CS PG 1 less than 1 gram, according to SAPD.Victoria Lopez is a Digital Journalist at KSAT.
