The suspect entered the gas station, produced a handgun, pointed the handgun at the cashier and demanded money. The suspect obtained an undisclosed amount of cash from the cash register before fleeing on foot.
The cashier was not physically injured during this incident.
The suspect is described as Caucasian, average height, medium build wearing a bright blue puffy jacket, orange pants, black shoes and a black ski mask. The suspect produced a black handgun.
