Deputies said two men held the clerk at gunpoint just before 4 a.m., handed him a black "Angry Birds" backpack and said, "you know what I want." The clerk put cash, cigarettes and cigars into the bag, handed it back and the men ran out, according to the release.

Nearly half a mile away at the Dollar Tree, deputies said they spotted a man walking down the sidewalk carrying a backpack with "Bomb Bird" from "Angry Birds" embroidered on it. The bag matched the backpack description from the robbery and Montanez, who was also carrying a black handgun, was arrested.

Montanez identified the second suspect as Rivera, and he was taken into custody, according to the release.
