The clerk at the Family Dollar at Shotwell and Scott Streets was held at gun point on Tuesday night for what probably seemed like an eternity to her.

The would be robber pointed a gun at her and demanded the cash from her drawer.  The clerk was so upset that she could not remember the number in order to open the drawer.  About that time, her supervisor was coming from the back and saw the robbery in process.

She called 911 reporting the armed robbery in progress.  The "in progress" part was something that law enforcement has not heard in the past robberies and were highly motivated to arrive at the scene.

Sheriff's Deputy Vince Edmond was close by and arrived first only to find the would be robber had fled upon hearing a siren.  Public Safety officers flooded the area and spoke to anyone close to the description of a black male dressed in black.  The perpetrator wore a red scarf or kerchief over his face during the attempt.

BPS Investigator Chris Jordan responded as well as Sheriff's Investigator Chip Nix who was in the area.  ACI tracking dogs were requested immediately.  They, along with Sheriff's Sgt Michael Logue and the Sheriff's K-9 Vito, attempted to track the suspect.  They had some success but lost the track when it led into a heavily walked area.

BPS Investigator Chris Jordan stated they have several leads they are following in the investigation.
