Police say a robbery suspect didn't get far from the scene of the crime Thursday night.

Around 10:20 PM, officers heard from a man who said he had been threatened with a knife at East 15th Street and South First Avenue by a man who demanded his cash.

The victim turned over his money and watched as the robber ran into an apartment complex at 735 South First Avenue.

A short time later police located and arrested 50-year-old David Person of Sioux Falls on a first-degree robbery charge.
