WATCH: TX THUG Falls To Knees Begs After Locked In Store During Robbery

A robber falls to his knees and begs to be released after workers locked him inside the store he was trying to steal from, video released Wednesday by police showed.

The robbery happened at 11:50 a.m. April 17, 2017, at the Latino Cellular store on Hillcroft Avenue near Bellaire Boulevard.

Houston police said John Bell, 22, of Houston, walked into the store, around the counter and demanded an employee open the cash register. The employee refused and told other employees and customers to get out, police said. Once outside, the employee locked the doors of the store, trapping Bell inside.

In the video, Bell was heard panicking once he realizes that there is no way out of the store.

“I’m trapped in this (expletive),” Bell said. “I’m going to jail.”

The video showed Bell using a gun to try to shoot the lock, throwing his shoulder into the barred glass of the door and trying to use something he found in the store to jimmy the lock.

Bell eventually realized his efforts to escape are feudal, the video showed, and began knocking on the glass, apologizing and begging to be released.

“Please,” Bell said. “I have nothing. Please.”

At the end of the video, officers could be seen arriving and arresting Bell, who had placed both of his hands on the windows.

Bell was charged with and eventually pleaded guilty to aggravated robbery with a deadly weapon. He was sentenced to five years in prison.

Houston police said Bell had previously been arrested in connection with an aggravated robbery case in 2015.
