The Charles County Sheriff’s Office and Charles County Crime Solvers are seeking the public’s assistance in identifying the suspect involved in a strong-arm robbery at a drug store in December.
Sheriff’s officers responded to Walgreens, located at 25 High Street in Waldorf, on Dec. 20 at 1:07 a.m. for the report of the strong-arm robbery. Investigation revealed the suspect entered the store, brought merchandise to the register and handed the clerk cash. As the clerk opened the register, the suspect dove across the counter and stole money. When the suspect exited the store, he was confronted by another employee and a brief struggle ensued. The employee recovered all the cash stolen by the supsect, and the suspect fled the scene in a vehicle waiting beside the store.
The supsect is described as a medium-complexioned black male with a beard. He is between 5 feet 9 inches and 5 feet 10 inches tall, weighs 200 to 230 pounds and was wearing a black shirt, jeans and a black coat. The Sheriff’s Office has released a photograph of the suspect, which can be seen on its Web site, www.ccso.us, and is asking anyone who can identify him to call the Sheriff’s Office at 301-932-7777 or Crime Solvers at 1-866-411-TIPS.
Crime Solvers offers rewards of up to $1,000 for information about a crime that leads to an arrest or indictment in the case. All callers may remain anonymous.
