According to court records, Christopher Tisley, 34, walked into a convenience store in the 2800 block of West Lawrence Avenue around 3 a.m. Saturday and demanded the money. When the clerk refused, he displayed a gun.
Tisley, of the 5800 block of South Morgan Street, exited the store after a customer walked in, allowing the clerk to lock the door. Tisley then returned and repeatedly pounded on the windows of the store, court records state.
Police were notified and arrested Tisley a block away. The gun Tisley allegedly displayed was not recovered, but prosecutors say police found 3 grams of methamphetamine in his possession.
Tisley is charged with aggravated assault and possession of a controlled substance.

Why just 99 cents? At first I thought maybe he was out of money for alcohol or cigarettes. But why would he not just steal the booze or demand the cigarettes? Maybe it was for gasoline. I'm sure you have to pay first, at least at 3 in the AM.
Though , since he was on Meth I'm sure that had a lot to do with it. Maybe robbery had crossed his mind a few times before and that night , being high , he decided he'd give it a try to see if he could pull it off. But why just 99 cents?
Strange
