The robbery occurred around 8:15 p.m. The victim reported that a short black male wedged himself in the driver’s door in his vehicle in the parking lot, according to an email sent from Police Sergeant Kelly Ham on Friday afternoon. The male demanded $10 from the victim and when the victim refused, the suspect stated he had a knife. The victim then gave the suspect $10 and the suspect walked away without any further incident.
