St. Cloud police  reviewed video surveillance footage from the incident and identified Harris as the suspect. 

The store employee identified Harris in a photo lineup as the person who robbed her, according to the complaint. 

Officers then spoke with a woman who has a harassment restraining order against Harris. She told police that Harris had been at her home, located a few blocks from Insomnia Cookies, late Monday. 

The witness's description of what Harris's clothing at that time was consistent with the robber's clothing, according to the complaint.

Harris is held in Stearns County Jail. He is expected to make his first court appearance Friday.
