Circle S Food Mart robbed

A person walked into the Circle S Food Mart on North Walnut Street at about 1:48 a.m. Monday, Lt. David Drake said, reading from a police report.

The suspect was wearing black clothing and a red bandana covering his or her face and had a hand inside his or her sweatshirt holding what appeared to be a gun.

The suspect asked the clerk for the money in the cash register, Drake said. The clerk opened the drawer, and the suspect stuffed the money in the sweatshirt pocket and left heading south.

The suspect is reported as being five-feet tall and skinny, with brown eyes and a Hispanic accent, Drake said.
