According to police, a 30 to 35 year-old white male with close-cropped light brown or reddish-orange hair and goatee stole cigarettes and a beer around 6:45 p.m. When the clerk tried to chase the suspect, he pulled a black handgun on the clerk, who ran back to the store and called 911. Officers checked the area, but didn’t find the suspect. Police say the suspect may have fled as a passenger in a red 1990s Ford Windstar van. Detectives are now handling the investigation.
