OSCEOLA COUNTY, Fla. -- A man robbed a Cumberland Farms store in St. Cloud and his mother was the getaway driver, police told WFTV on Wednesday.

Police said that 20-year-old Angelo Palmieri walked into the store on 13th Street Tuesday, implied he had a gun and demanded money from the clerk. The clerk handed over the cash and Palmieri ran out of the store and got into his mother's car, said police.

The clerk called 911 and shortly afterward, Palmieri and his mother, 47-year-old Cindy Willson, were caught and arrested, investigators said.

Police said that while in custody, Palmieri tried to escape unsuccessfully. Officers said Palmieri confessed to the robbery. He and Wilson are being held at the Osceola County jail.
