The man suspected of robbing a northwest Lubbock grocery store and assaulting an officer has turned himself in to police.

17-year-old Lorenzo Flores surrendered himself at the Lubbock Police Department Wednesday morning, following his identification from surveillance photos.

Flores has been charged with robbery, after reportedly trying to walk out of the United Supermarket at 4^th and Slide with a soda which he did not purchase on June 29^th.
