The Pittsburg Morning Sun reports that two men are accused of forcing three Jimmy John's employees to the floor Monday night.

A responding officer spotted two men riding away from the area on bicycles. Reed stopped when told to do so by police and was arrested. James hopped off his bike and tried to run away one foot.

Police caught up to him and arrested him right next to the police department.

Arresting officers recovered an airsoft pistol, baseball bat and $2. The Morning Sun reports that the suspects are believed to have dropped one of the dollars when they left the scene.

Both are being held on a $25,000 bond.
