A man is facing charges after police say he assaulted a store clerk in downtown Austin before stealing a taco.
On Sunday morning, police responded to a robbery call from the Royal Blue Grocery at 609 Congress Ave.
The clerk told officers a white male with curly, blond hair wearing a striped polo shirt, brown shorts, and a brown bandage around his wrist had entered the store and grabbed one taco.
According to an affidavit, when the clerk said, "Is that it? That'll be $3.25," the man reached across the counter and grabbed her left breast.
The victim then grabbed the suspect's arm and yelled, "What the f---, man?" The suspect wiggled away from her grip and ran out of the door with the taco.
Court documents say the victim gave chase briefly before going back inside the store to compose herself. When she went outside for a cigarette, she spotted the suspect at the intersection of Seventh Street and Congress Avenue. She walked toward the suspect and took a photo of him before he ran off behind the Stephen F. Austin hotel.
She asked " Is that it?" He was just trying to tell her what else he wanted ? After her reaction, he changed his mind.
