On the Beat: Wanted in Warsaw

By Philip Anselmo

State police are on the lookout for a robbery suspect in Warsaw. A report just came in that on Tuesday night, just shy of 11:00pm, a man entered the Yellow Goose Gas Sation on Telephone Road in Pavilion. This man walked up to the counter with a beverage, then pulled a gun on the cashier and demanded the money in the cash register. Once the cashier gave him the money, he left the store and fled into the woods.

From the police:

The man is described as a black male, 20-24 years old, 5’6”, and 160-165 lbs.  He was clean shaven, wearing a black hooded sweatshirt, blue jeans and white sneakers.
