(KAIR)--A Leavenworth man pleads guilty in connection with a gas station robbery that included an attack on an employee.
21-year-old Dameon Lewis, last week, plead guilty in Leavenworth County District Court to kidnapping, robbery, and felony theft, in connection to the February crimes.
According to a release from Leavenworth County Attorney Todd Thompson, Lewis, on February 20, went to the gas station early that morning and lured the employee out of the store by telling here an outside bathroom was flooding. Once outside, Thompson says Lewis attacked the woman, trying to push her in the bathroom before dragging her back into the gas station where he demanded she give him money from the register.
Grabbing the money and the woman’s keys, Lewis drove from the scene in the employee’s vehicle.
She immediately called law enforcement, who were able to identify Lewis in video footage, despite him wearing a hoodie and mask. He was arrested the next day.
