Wichita Falls police say 30-year-old Roger Neal Bridges first threatened a convenience store clerk, then another man outside the store. Officers say around 6:20 Thursday night Bridges entered the Quick Stop in the 21-hundred block of Holliday. They say he grabbed two beers, put them on the counter, and then threatened the clerk and demanded 20 dollars. The clerk refused and Bridges fled the scene on a bicycle.
A short time later, police say Bridges went to 23rd Street and encountered another man on a bike. This time, police say Bridges pulled a knife from his waistband and demanded cash. Officers say both victims know Bridges and were able to provide police with his name. Bridges is being held in the Wichita County Jail on 200-thousand-dollars in bonds.
