The Bloomington Police Department received a call around 4:45 a.m. Tuesday alerting officers of a possible robbery on the 3000 block of South Acadia Court, Sgt. Pam Gladish said.
Officers first spoke to the reported victim’s wife, who made the 911 call. She told officers her husband, 38, didn’t want to report the robbery to police, but she waited a few minutes and then called BPD without him knowing.
The reported victim was lying on a couch around 4:35 a.m. when he heard a knock at his front door. A clean-shaven Caucasian male around 20 years old was at the door and asked the reported victim for gas money for his car. The victim said he didn’t have money. The man at the door reportedly punched the victim in the face and took money from his hand. The subject then got into a gray or dark-colored four-door vehicle and fled the scene.
The reported victim told officers he didn’t know the subject, but he was not willing to give officers any more details. Sgt. Pam Gladish said the incident report states the victim changed his story from stating the subject was alone to saying there were actually one or two people in the ?vehicle.
The victim did not need medical treatment.
