Suspect in armed shoe store robbery arrested

CORBIN, Ky. (WTVQ) – A man accused of pulling a gun on a store employee in Corbin was arrested shortly after committing the crime, according to investigators.

The Knox County Sheriff’s Office says 19-year-old Cameron Brummett went into the B & H Shoe Store on May 10 and walked out with a shirt and a hat he didn’t pay for.

When an employee followed him out and confronted him, deputies say Brummett pulled a gun on the employee.
