On January 24, 2013 the Dothan Police Department responded 1486 West Main Street in reference to an armed robbery at 7:51 p.m. Upon arrival, the clerk told police she was taking the garbage out to the dumpster, when a black male wearing all black with a bandana covering his face came out of the bushes near the dumpster. The suspect was armed with a handgun and told her to go back into the store. The clerk complied and said once inside the store the suspect demanded she place cash into a plastic bag. The suspect then fled from the business and was last seen running towards Pariton Avenue. 

Police are asking anyone with information about the case or identity of the suspect to call the Dothan Police Department or CrimeStoppers 334-793-7000.
