Wife and Baby Watch as Robbery Unfolds
By Rachel Parker
As Jennifer Quintanilla and her three-month-old son waited in the parking lot at 198 Valencia at 6:45 p.m. Monday for her husband to finish closing up, she became suspicious. She had just seen a customer walk out of the Oil Changer where her husband is the manager, and then return.
The customer had no car, she said Tuesday recounting the robbery, so he didn't need an oil change.
With her three-month-old son in her arms, she walked around the back to speak with her husband, Joey Piland, who was still at the counter.
Instead she watched a robbery unfold.
The suspect asked her husband, "How's business going?"
He then pulled a large shotgun out of his coat. "Give me everything you have."
"I've got my wife and kid here," her husband said and then he opened the cash register and proceeded to hand over the money.
While Quintanilla stood by stunned, the suspect held the shotgun in one hand, and tried to stuff money into his coat pockets with the other. He became angry when her husband wouldn't help him find a bag to put the money in. But after collecting more than $450 the suspect fled, running up the street and vanishing after he turned the corner. READ MORE HERE.
