The  suspect entered the store, pointed a handgun directly at the clerk and demanded cash, then fled from the business.

Police said he was seen getting into a dark colored sedan, which appeared to have a bumper falling off. Detectives believe the car is a Honda Civic or something similar.

Police described the suspect as a heavy set Caucasian man in his mid 30s, with a short, scruffy auburn beard or goatee. He was wearing a camouflage jacket, possibly with the words "Newman Construction" on the back, black gloves and khaki-colored pants.
