BAINBRIDGE, Ga. (WCTV) — Bainbridge Public Safety is looking for a man accused of trying to rob a gas station employee at gunpoint.
Officers were dispatched to the Circle K on Tallahassee Highway just before 2:00 a.m. on March 26 in reference to an attempted armed robbery.
The clerk told officers a man wearing a gray hooded jacket and black pants entered the store and displayed a silver 9mm handgun, demanding that she give him her cellphone. When she refused and tried to dial 911, the man walked around the counter and attempted to grab the phone.
The clerk told police the suspect was not able to grab her phone, so he fled the store and ran across Tallahassee Highway towards Walmart. Officers were unable to find the man after searching the area.
Investigators released surveillance photos of the suspect on Wednesday. The suspect is described as a 25 to 30-year-old black male, who’s 6’0″ tall and weighs approximately 120 pounds.
Investigators are asking anyone with information about the suspect or this case to please contact Investigator Chip Nix at (229) 726-4119.
