The 17-year-old of Hinsdale, Ill., faces charges of aggravated robbery even though remorse prompted him to go back to the doughnut store a day after robbing it and give back the stolen money, the Chicago Tribune reported Friday.
A surveillance camera captured both the robbery and the return.
The same female clerk who the teen robbed was there 24 hours later when he came back, the Tribune says. He returned the money along with a hand-written apology, the Tribune said.
The teen raised his hands to show the clerk that he wasn't armed, asked for her forgiveness and tried to hug the woman before leaving on his bicycle, the report said.
Police arrested the teen and took him to the DuPage County Jail, the Tribune said. Bail has been set at $75,000.
