But in a shocking twist Sunday afternoon, Armbrister turned himself in to Miami Gardens police and apologized, ending the hunt for him after the terrifying incident.
‘My sincere apologies. I hope she’s okay,” Armbrister said as he left the police station in handcuffs. “I made a mistake by probably drinking too much and that’s the part where I made a mistake. I allowed something to be put in my drink without paying attention.”
The gruesome footage showed Armbrister aggressively grabbing the young worker after she rejected his offer to pay $100 for sex, as she screamed for help and ordered him to get away.
He then took her to a back room of the store, where he pulled his shirt over her face to commit the gruesome act.

The suspect claimed to be shocked by what he did after his friend showed him the video footage of the assault.
“I came back because someone has to take responsibility,” he said.
He now faces several charges, including sexual assault without serious personal injury, false imprisonment and burglary with assault or battery.
