Grass valley Police responded to a call of a physical confrontation in front of the store on Colfax Avenue.

Because Corin used physical force in an attempt to get away with the items, what would have been a burglary charge, was bumped up to robbery… which Corwin learned carries a $100,000 dollar bail.
