Saint Paul - Simon Hanson was not having a good night. During the course of two alleged robberies, the 28-year-old was kicked in the face and lost his phone and some clothing. His flight from police did not go well either.
At approximately 11:35 p.m. on Monday, it is alleged Hanson walked into Gulf Corner Gas in Saint Paul, Minnesota. According to witnesses, he pulled out a large butcher knife and demanded money. The clerk not only hit the silent alarm button but told Hanson what he did as he was walking towards the cash. The would-be robber then fled the store empty-handed. Having obtained no money, Hanson thought he would try another store. Twenty-three minutes later, Hanson walked into CVS Pharmacy, went behind the counter, pulled out his knife and asked the clerk, "Where are the big bills?" The clerk complied with his request, giving him $112. A customer who was having a prescription filled for his son, told his girlfriend Hanson was wearing a mask and looked like he was going to rob the store. The customer then jumped up on the counter and kicked the 28-year-old in the face.
Although Hanson made off with the money, he received a chipped tooth and lost his knife, his red jacket, and a shoe. He also dropped his cellphone during the course of his altercation with the customer. Hanson wanted his phone back so he called his number and a man answered. Identifying himself as "Si," Hanson then asked, "Dude, where's my cellphone?" The man said he found it in an alley and made arrangements to return the phone at 3:30 a.m Unbeknownst to Hanson, a pharmacy employee had found the cellphone and turned it over to police. The man Hanson talked to and arranged to meet was a cop who neglected to tell him that little fact. When police showed up at the designated meeting spot, Hanson drove away after seeing the lights and hearing the sirens. A chase that reached speeds of 80 mph ensued before Hanson was finally pulled over and arrested. Hanson told officers his tooth was chipped and he lost his cellphone during a mugging. After police told him they had seen the security video at CVS, Hanson said some people whose names he did not know wanted crack money and were threatening to kill him. At the time of his arrest, Hanson had outstanding warrants for forgery and fraud. On Wednesday, he was charged with first-degree aggravated robbery, attempted robbery, and fleeing a peace officer in a motor vehicle.
