After making the cigar purchase, Castillo walked up to one of the beer displays and attempted to get an 18-pack of beer from it, cutting the display's tape with a knife, according to the affidavit.

When a regular customer tried to stop them from stealing the beer, Castillo swung the knife at him while Humble held him from behind. They both ran out of the store with the beer and took off in a car, according to the affidavit.

Humble was arrested Tuesday just before midnight and is now facing a charge of aggravated robbery, which is a first-degree felony.

His bond has been set at $75,000.

According to online records, Castillo has not been taken into custody and is still on the run.
