Drug buy ends in robbery

A complainant told Bloomington Police Department that he was robbed when he tried to purchase cocaine at Night Moves on Sunday.

According to the BPD report, the alleged victim, 33, initially told officers that “he was in a rest room when approached by two black males who punched him in the face and stole his wallet.”

When officers arrived at the scene, the suspects weren’t there.

The victim was taken to Bloomington Hospital, where he was subjected to further questioning. At this time, he altered his story to include information about an attempted drug purchase.

According to the report, the man went to the bathroom to purchase cocaine from the two men. The victim claimed he was assaulted after the suspects asked how much money he had. The suspect said the men stole his wallet, which contained $200.

The victim suffered a two-inch laceration above his left eye, which was completely swollen shut, a bloody nose and a contusion on the right side of his head.
