SAN ANTONIO — San Antonio police got some help in arresting an 18-year-old robbery suspect after he dropped his wallet near the scene of the alleged crime.

 

An arrest affidavit says Michael Kern was one of three people who attempted to rob a man at knifepoint Oct. 24 at an apartment complex.

 

A man said he was walking his dog when Kern and two others approached and one of them pulled a knife. The victim started running.

 

Authorities found Kern's wallet on the ground after the incident. The victim saw the photo and identified Kern, who was arrested on Wednesday. He was charged with aggravated robbery and was being held Saturday at the Bexar County Jail with bail set at $50,000. State officials had no details on whether he had an attorney.
