KCSO Looking for Armed Robber
Tuesday, 06 January 2009

video.jpgThe Knox County Sheriff’s Office is asking for the public’s help in identifying a man who robbed the Dollar General Store at 7544 Oak Ridge Highway Sunday afternoon.  The white male entered the store shortly after 3 o’clock and approached the clerk at the counter with a notepad.   He had written on the pad, “This is a robbery, there is a gun pointed at you.”  The clerk told the suspect that he could not open the cash register and he would have to get the manager.  He called for the manager and showed her the note.  She told the suspect that the deposit had already been made.  When the suspect threatened to shoot her, she opened the cash drawer and gave him an undetermined amount of money.  The suspect never showed a weapon.  He fled out the front door.

He is described as 6 feet tall, 200 pounds, medium build, and wearing a dark toboggan.   Anyone with information is asked to call the Sheriff’s Office at 215-2443.
