Information from WYSH Radio
Clinton Police are investigating an armed robbery that occurred at the AT&T store in Tanner Place on Saturday night.
Police were called to the store at around 7 p.m. Saturday by a contract sales associate for AT&T, who told investigators that she had been packing up her belongings to leave for the night when she heard the front door open. When she turned around, she spotted a white man with a pistol approaching her. The man laid the gun on the counter facing her and demanded money.
The worker reached into her purse and pulled out $120 from two cell phone sales she had made that day and offered it to the robber, who told her he didn’t want her money, he wanted the store’s money. She explained the store did not have any cash on hand, so he settled for taking her cash and fleeing the store.
The clerk was not injured in the incident.
She described the suspect as a white male, around five feet, eight inches tall and weighing around 150 pounds. At the time of the robbery, he was wearing a black ski mask, a black hooded sweatshirt, blue jeans and black tennis shoes with white trim.
If you have any information on Saturday’s robbery, call the Clinton Police Department at (865) 457-3112.
