Witness and police video shows a man acting out at a gas station before striking a cop car with his vehicle, driving off, and fleeing futilely into a restaurant.

The suspect, Jordon Vasquez, 34, is currently locked up in the Bernalillo County Jail in New Mexico for armed robbery, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, aggravated fleeing a law enforcement officer, and resisting, evading, or obstructing an officer.

In the witness footage from Feb. 7 in Albuquerque, an exasperated employee of the gas station apparently spoke to authorities over the phone offscreen. She said the suspect struck two homeless people with his hands.

“He’s sitting out there nonchalant like nothing happened,” she said, describing the suspect sitting in a vehicle, his feet up, in the middle of the parking lot.

She said that the man had been trying to get cigarettes, although he did not have money.

“And he was like, ‘I don’t have money. I don’t have ID,” and he went to grab the cigarettes from the counter, and I was quick enough to swipe them back, and he was like, ‘girl, don’t make me go back there,”” she described.
