The Walgreens clerk said the suspect walked up to her register and began mumbling while tugging at his jacket.
She said the male then stated, “Give me everything, right now, you got 5 seconds, ” while pointing a black handgun at her.
He counted down from 5 while threatening the employee. She told him the register was empty, showed him the empty cash box, and he left the store.
