TERRE HAUTE, Ind. - Call it a lemonade standoff.

A young girl whose lemonade stand was robbed of $17.50 chased the suspect into a nearby home and called police, who spent nearly an hour trying to coax the man into surrendering.

?The guy came up and was, like, ?Give me your money,?? said Dominique Morefield, who was running the lemonade stand with a group of friends. ?I was shocked. It was just my immediate reaction to chase after him.?

Dominique dashed after the man who ran into a house, and then she called police. Officers eventually persuaded Steve Tryon, 18, to come outside after 45 minutes and arrested him on a preliminary felony charge of robbery.

Tryon was jailed and was scheduled to appear in court Tuesday. The Vigo County prosecutor?s office did not immediately know if he had an attorney.

?I didn't think anyone would come up to a lemonade stand and steal, that's really low,? 12-year-old Fred Erstine said.

The kids said they would continue to sell lemonade, but with an adult?s supervision.
