Springfield Police Division officers were called to the Speedway gas station in the 1200 block of West North Street for a panic alarm on Tuesday. Dispatchers told officers the man used a knife to rob the store and left on foot, according to a report.
An employee told police it was the same person who had been in the store when officers were there for a different theft call earlier. The man told an employee he was waiting on a ride and had been in the store for about an hour.

While he was in the store, the man allegedly threw personal papers away that the name Anthony or Tony Marshall on them. Police used the papers to identify the man and a warrant was issued for his arrest.
