WESLACO - An 18-year-old man is behind bars after he threatened a store clerk, according to Hidalgo County authorities.

A surveillance video captured the incident.

On Tuesday morning around 10 a.m. a hooded man walked inside the Dollar General store, south of Mile 12 North on FM 1015.

Authorities say he wanted money out of the register.

In the video he can be seen pulling a knife out, walking over to the cashier, pulling her into his grip and holding the knife to her neck.

He's being held on a combined $26,500 bond.
