Police: Man reluctantly robs Utah snow cone stand

[July 18, 2009]  RIVERTON, Utah (AP) -- Investigators said an armed man seemed reluctant, but robbed a 16-year-old girl working at a snow cone stand anyway.

Salt Lake County Sheriff's Lt. Don Hutson said the man walked through the back door of the Snow Shack on Wednesday and showed that he had a gun.

Hutson said he then told the teen he didn't want to do it, but owed his brother $80 and ordered her to give him the money.

The girl handed over the money and the man ran away. Law enforcement officers are still looking for him.
