The video shows the woman fighting back before he drives off.Kelli Jackson, who works at a different coffee stand near Auburn, was shocked when she saw the video.
"She is obviously changing money, giving him back his change for his drink and then, trying to grab at her," she said. "It is absolutely terrifying, scary, when these things happen, you know? It puts you a little bit, unnerving." Kolby Crossley with the Auburn Police Department said as the images of the suspect began circulating, the calls started to come in.The arrest has since become the focus of conversations in the area.
"Thank goodness her instinct was the pull away and do things like that," said Jackson, who said the incident highlights the precautions so many baristas rely on, such as having quality security cameras. "We are equipped with a lot of cameras, for that reason, for safety," she said. "We have pepper spray in the shops, we have a panic button in here as well."CNN contributed to this report.
