The clerk said the man poked a blunt object into his back. But instead of a gun as the clerk thought, it was an ice cream scoop.
Police are considering it an aggravated robbery because the clerk thought his life was being threatened.
This isn't the only time a robber used an odd item as a potential weapon. In 2012, someone held up a store in Plainview with a sock used to cover his hand, KCBD reported.
