Deputies arrested a man who allegedly stole a $20 bill out of someone’s car in a 7-Eleven parking lot and pushed the victim to the ground.

The strong-arm robbery was reported just after noon at 9411 N.E. 76th St. in the Five Corners area north of East Vancouver.

The victim, a 30-year-old Vancouver man, reported that he had just pulled into the convenience store parking lot when a man he didn’t know came up and asked if he had a lighter. After the 30-year-old got out of his car, the stranger reached inside and grabbed a $20 bill from the dashboard, Clark County Sheriff’s Sgt. Fred Neiman said.

When the victim asked for the money back, the man pushed him to the ground and took off, Neiman said. The victim immediately called 911 to report the robbery.

“Fortunately, we were close by and nabbed him,” Neiman said.

A responding deputy found Alexander Dasilva, 34, a transient, and took him into custody. He was booked into the Clark County Jail on accusations of second-degree robbery and theft.
