2/4/2008

The Dollar General store at 2857 Airport Hwy. was robbed Saturday by a man who brandished a pistol at a clerk who opened the cash register before he made any demands, Toledo police said.

The man who entered the store at 7:48 p.m. was described as black, slender, and 5 feet, 10 inches tall, according to a police report. He wore black gloves and a black coat over a red hooded sweatshirt with a mask partially covering his face.

The suspect removed an undetermined amount of money from the register and fled north on foot into an apartment complex, the report said.
