According to a news release, Sheridan allegedly entered the ice cream shop wearing a mask and demanded cash displaying a firearm in the waistband of his jeans.
IFPD spokeswoman Jessica Clements said the lone employee gave Sheridan the cash in the register, less than $100, and he left.
With footprints in the snow leading from the scene, officers quickly located Sheridan in the area of McKenzie and Ricks Street, less than half a mile from Baskin Robbins. He was found with the stolen cash. The firearm was found hidden under bushes and snow.
Sheridan allegedly confessed to the robbery and was booked into the Bonneville County Jail on felony charges.
