The girl claimed that the man seemed nervous. Once the manager was summoned, the man fled. The store contacted the police. The man was arrested two days later at a waterfront hotel after purchasing a .45 caliber revolver from a pawn shop. On Tuesday, April 30, the sales girl identified him as the same man who had tried selling a saxophone. Although no saxophone was found in his possession, the police found a bag of bloody clothing in his hotel room. The man claimed that the blood was from a cut that he had received on his forehead in a bar fight.
