Police said the suspect began to yell something that sounded like ""give me the money,"" but did not wait for the clerk to give him any cash.

The suspect then reached into the register and grabbed as many dollar bills as he could before leaving the store, DeSpain said.

""The rattled clerk said she did not recognize the man,"" DeSpain said in a statement.

The suspect is said to be a male, 20-30 years old with a medium to stocky build. At the time of the incident, the suspect's hair was worn in braids, was wearing a black jacket and dark jeans, police said.
