DRAFFENVILLE — Marshall County Sheriff’s Deputies are investigating a robbery that occurred in the parking lot of a local restaurant.
Officers responded about 11:20 p.m. Thursday to the Draffenville Dairy Queen, after a 911 call alleging a man in a black hooded sweatshirt, mask and sunglasses approached an employee leaving the restaurant after closing. Police say the suspect was armed with a pipe; he allegedly took an undisclosed amount of cash, as well as work and personal cellphones.
The alleged perpetrator fled the area on foot, according to police.
“It was a quick in and out type thing,” said Marshall County Sheriff Kevin Byars. “The person covered themselves enough that there wasn’t any kind of distinguishing characteristics.”
Anyone with information on the incident may call MCSD at 270-527-3112.
