The woman’s name isĀ Araceli Sotelo, and she was working at a Rockford, IL Subway location last weekend when a guy brazenly entered and flashed a gun at her, demanding she give him the money on hand in the store … an encounter that was partially caught on video.

The surveillance cameras in the store were running, and somehow … the footage got leaked to the local Rockford Scanner — which watermarked the clips and threw them up on FB.
