The Oliver Springs Police Department is searching for a suspect in an armed robbery at the Family Dollar Store at about 9:34 p.m. Wednesday.

The suspect allegedly entered the store at 51 Edmonds Drive, gave the clerk a $100 bill, and asked for change. After the clerk gave the suspect the change, the man then demanded the money in both cash registers, requested both clerks’ phones, took their wallets out of their purses, and left the store, the Oliver Springs Police Department said.

The suspect is described as a black man who is about 5’2″ to 5’5″ and weighs about 150 pounds. He was wearing an Under Armour red hoodie with a blue shirt, possibly a sweatshirt, pulled over it, and a ball cap on underneath the hoodie, the OSPD said.

Call the Oliver Springs Police Department at (865) 435-7777 if you have any information on this robbery.
