When police arrived, they spoke with two store clerks who were upset, and one said she was checking out a customer when the suspect showed a gun and robbed her.
“(The clerk) advised that the male came up to her register and placed a yellow Dollar General bag on the counter and the male told (the clerk) to put the money from the register in the bag. (The clerk) said when she looked up, the male had his right hand on a black semi-automatic handgun and he had it pulled halfway out of his right shorts pocket.”
Once the clerk put the money in the bag, the robber “nonchalantly” exited the store and took off running east through the lot.
