According to the police report, the note read "read carefully. I have a gun with me and put the money in the bag."

After the victim read the note, police said she went to "help a co-worker" and called for help using the guise of being busy getting the money together.

Patrick Abbott left the supermarket empty-handed and was later arrested when officers caught up to him not far away where he was throwing the note in the garbage at the 100 block of Northeast 50th Street.

Police said he was identified by the victim at the store and taken into custody. The gun that Abbott claimed to have in his pocket? It was a black stapler, police said.
