A clerk told police that Erick Minto, 49, entered the Largo store late Tuesday night “asking for free food.” Minto, who lives in a Clearwater apartment eight miles from the Wawa, had his request denied by the worker.
At that point, Minto allegedly pulled out a folding knife, opened it, and pointed the weapon at the clerk while saying, “Don’t make me do something stupid for a Snickers bar.”
