An early morning robbery at a Clifton gas station resulted in the arrest of a Grand Junction man.

Just before 1:00 am Monday, police were called to the scene of what appeared to be a robbery in progress at the Circle K convenience store at the corner of 32 Road and E Road in Clifton. An eyewitness reported a masked man inside the store with a rifle appearing to rob the store.

When a sheriff's deputy arrived, he observed the suspect getting into a Jeep Wrangler.  According to the Mesa County Sheriff's Office, a pursuit ensued until the suspect's vehicle ultimately crashed in the 400 block of Appaloosa Lane. The suspect fled on foot and was located near a canal where he resisted arrest before being taken into custody.
