According to a police report, officers arrived at the scene, 8325 Roswell Road, around 9:30 a.m. on Nov. 25 and spoke with an employee at the gas station. The employee told police that the man entered the store, walked directly to the counter and slipped a note to the cashier that read, “I have a gun. Put the money from the register in the bag.”
The employee said he never saw the gun, but saw an item “protruding” from the suspect’s pocket, according to the police report.
