On Valentine’s Day at 8:25 pm the Darlington County Sheriff’s Office deputies responded to the Dollar General at 904 Lamar Hwy for a robbery, Sheriff J. Wayne Byrd said..
“Upon arrival, the store clerk stated that a Hispanic male walked up to the register with items to purchase,” Byrd said in a press release.
The suspect then told the clerk to give him the money tray.
“He kept his hand in his pocket and it appeared he had a handgun. But the clerk never actually saw a gun,” Byrd said.
The clerk gave him the money and he left the store, which is just 1000 feet outside Darlington. It is believed that he left the scene in a black Ford Fusion.
The suspect is described to be a Hispanic male around 25 years of age weighing around 190 lbs and approximately 6’3″ tall. He was wearing a grey hoodie with front pockets and sunglasses at the time of the incident.
If anyone has any information on the identity of this suspect call the Darlington County Sheriff’s Office at 843-398-4501 or 843-398-4920.
