A 12-year-old girl was arrested at a Michigan convenience store after she walked in, pointed a loaded gun at an employee behind the counter and demanded cash.
An employee at the Country Lake Food Center in Highland, Mich., told 911 dispatchers she thought the pre-teen thief was just playing an imaginary game of "Cops and Robbers."
"She pointed a gun to me. I thought it was a joke at first," the unidentified employee said on the 911 call.
The girl was wearing a scarf over her face and black clothes, witnesses told Detroit's WJBX television.
Eventually, the employee said, she grabbed the girl's arm, while another worker pinned her to the floor. The pint-sized perp could be heard crying in the background of the 911 call.
Cops said the girl stole the 9mm handgun from a neighbor's house.
The girl was charged as a juvenile with armed robbery and was being held at a children's detention center. She could also face charges for stealing the gun, cops said.
Sources said the girl may have family problems. A spokesman from the Oakland County sheriff's office said the girl's parents were going through a divorce.
"That's pretty incredible, someone that young starting out like this," one shopper told WJBX. "That's not very good."
