An Oklahoma convenience store clerk and two friends he asked to rob his store so he could leave work early have been arrested, police said Friday.
Isaias Jones told police that he handed over the store’s cash to a suspect after he walked into the store on June 5 and passed him a note that said, “Give me all your money or I will shoot you,” the Tulsa Police Department wrote on Facebook.
The suspect was later identified as Steven Jones, who was arrested on June 8, and confessed to the robbery, police said, adding that he was hired by a woman named Alyia Locke after Isaias Jones asked her if she wanted to rob the store, so he could go home early.
Isaias Jones was arrested on June 14, and faces embezzlement and conspiracy to commit a felony charges.

Locke was arrested on an outstanding warrant on June 9 and could face additional charges.
