Surveillance video shows the man walk into the Florida convenience store armed with a shotgun, and then he tells the clerk he's 'from Chicago, bro.' Here's what happened next:

walked into a Florida convenience store during an attempted robbery but walked out when a clerk displayed his own weapon, authorities said.

Rakim Stephen Tate, 32, made a bad decision that "became a worse decision" when he walked into a convenience store on Sept. 9 with a visible shotgun to his side, the Escambia County Sheriff's Office said Monday.Tate walked around the store for a few seconds before a clerk out of view from a camera in the store is heard talking to him, according to security footage.

Tate is heard asking the employee what kind of weapon he is holding. The employee responds before Tate slowly walks out of the store. "He then fumbles for words, resorting to meaningless babble about being from Chicago," the sheriff's office said in a statement. "Words seem to fail you when your felony attempt is thwarted by lawful and righteous force."

Tate was arrested on Sept. 15 in Santa Rose County, authorities said, adding "You’re not in Chicago anymore; you’re under arrest."
