CHEHALIS – A male armed with a sword robbed the Market Street Market in Chehalis this morning, the second such hold up at the business in a little more than a week.<\/p>\n

“It was the same guy, he was wearing the same thing, the same clothes” owner Danny Kim said. “At least he should have changed his clothes.”<\/p>\n

Kim said it happened about 8 o’clock this morning.<\/p>\n

It was a similar situation as what occurred at the convenience store between 12th and 13th avenues on South Market Street in Chehalis about 10:30 p.m. on June 18, according to police.<\/p>\n

That night, a male, described as possibly in his mid-20s, pointed a roughly two-foot long sword at two clerks and made off with an as-yet undisclosed amount of cash. His face was covered with a bandana.<\/p>\n

Today, Kim said he was alone in the store when the robber came in.<\/p>\n

“He just walk in with a sword, ‘give me money’,” Kim said. “I give him money, he was out. It was 30 seconds.”<\/p>\n

Nobody was injured.<\/p>\n

Kim wasn’t working when it happened before, but he saw the images captured by security video of the subject, leading him to think it was the same individual.<\/p>\n

Clerk Don Thayer Jr. wasn’t working this morning, but came into the store to talk with his boss and police.<\/p>\n

The 43-year-old Chehalis man said he was working when it happened the first time.<\/p>\n

The guy came in at closing and sort of ducked down then showed his weapon, Thayer said.<\/p>\n

Thayer thought about tackling him, but he kept pointing the sword at him, he said.<\/p>\n

“Like I said, let him take what he wants and get out of here, he’ll eventually be caught,” Thayer said.<\/p>\n

Kim, who has owned the business since, 2006 said his store hasn’t been robbed before.<\/p>\n

“I’ve never heard of anybody around here getting robbed, except the bank,” Kim said.<\/p>\n

Chehalis Police Department Deputy Chief Randy Kaut said this afternoon officers have a suspect in custody and are interviewing him now.<\/p>\n

Jonathan A. Jamerson, 23, currently staying with a relative in Chehalis, was booked into the Lewis County Jail this afternoon for two counts of first-degree robbery, according to Kaut.<\/p>\n
