Jack's in Alexandria robbed on Thursday

03-15-2008

Calhoun County Sheriff's investigators Friday were looking for a man who robbed the Jack's restaurant in Alexandria on Thursday.

A masked man reportedly robbed the restaurant minutes before closing time.

A night manager had been outside the business for a few moments just before 9 p.m. As she came back through the door, a man in a ski mask, wearing all black and holding a handgun, followed her in, reported Calhoun County Sheriff Larry Amerson.

The man put a gun to the manager's head, forced her into a back office and demanded money, Amerson said.

The manager reportedly handed over an undisclosed amount of money, and the armed man fled the restaurant, running south.

No arrests had been made as of Friday afternoon.

Amerson said anyone in the area at the time who saw anything suspicious — including cars speeding away — is asked to contact the Sheriff's Office at 236-6600 or Crime Stoppers at 238-1414.
