Two women who works at the store told deputies a man held them at gunpoint and “robbed them of an undisclosed amount of the store’s cash while inside of the business,” Booth said. The women weren’t injured.

The victims described the man as being between 25 and 30 years old with a buzz cut hair. He wore black shoes, khaki pants, a black shirt with a Star Wars graphic design and a white face mask.
