A patron locked herself inside a bathroom during the incident, according to charging documents.

The armed man demanded money and threw the victim to the floor while the other man and the woman allegedly tried to access the ATM machine inside the business, according to charging documents.

After the robbery, police found several latent fingerprints inside the machine, an area members of the public do not have access to, according to charging documents

After running the prints through a national database, investigators matched Johnson's prints to those found on the ATM, according to charging documents.

The owner of the ATM provided police with the name of the people who service the machine. Johnson's was not among the listed names, according to charging documents.
