A female went to the Maverik at the above location. When she went to enter the store, she was told that in order to follow the social distancing standard she needed to wait outside until a person left. The female stated she would not wait outside, and instead pulled a knife from her pocket, and waived it at the clerk as she walked in the store. She then filled a fountain drink and exited the store without paying, while still having the knife in her hand. Bike officers arriving in the area located the suspect, who initially physically resisted officers, but was taken into custody without injury. The drink and knife were both located on her. Tyawna Traylor, 29, was transported to jail and booked for aggravated robbery and resisting.
