| |
A Lawndale man was
arrested late Sunday and charged with the robbery of an eastern Burke County
convenient store.
Detectives believe Michael Eugene Wright (right), 38,
of 7059 Casar Road, Lawndale is the man who entered the B&B Food Store in
Hildebran around 9:50 p.m. Friday night and robbed the clerk with a full-sized
shotgun. |
 |
|
| According to statements made to Burke County
Sheriff's Office investigators by employees of B&B, a man entered the
business wearing camouflage clothing and a camouflage mask and demanded
money. |
| |
| After receiving an undisclosed amount of cash,
the robber reportedly ran to the rear of the store and fled in a dark-colored
truck with a camper shell. |
| |
| No one was injured during the robbery, a
detective said. |
| |
| On Sunday, detectives said Wright was developed
as a suspect, and he was arrested later that evening. |
| |
| Wright was charged with robbery with a dangerous
weapon and jailed under a $25,000 secured bond. His first court appearance is
scheduled for today. |
