A 19-year-old San Marcos resident remained behind bars on Tuesday for the robbery of a local store. 

Abraham Barrera is being held on a $100,000 bond for the first-degree felony offense of aggravated robbery. He is accused of holding up the Planet K at 910 Interstate 35 North on Monday afternoon.

Police responded to the store at 3:04 p.m., where they learned from witnesses that the suspect, who fled the scene before officers arrived, was a Hispanic man wearing a dark hoodie and dark pants, with a dark bandana covering his face.
