According to police, the clerk ended up handing over a bag containing $5,000 in cash.

The boy was arrested just a few blocks away from the store. He reportedly told officers he took the gun from his grandfather's locked safe.

Authorities say the boy faces a long list of charges, and may be tried as an adult.

Police stated that the boy was charged with armed robbery, assault with a dangerous weapon and firing a firearm at the Van Buren County Family Court this week, and said the boy had told a friend from school about the robbery before.
