MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Police say a male trying to rob a Whitehaven Walgreens pointed his gun at a clerk’s head and threatened her when she couldn’t open their register.
The suspect left the Elvis Presley Boulevard store without the money and was caught on camera pointing his weapon at the cashier several times.
The victim said the suspect, who came into the store wearing a ski mask, face mask, and gray hoodie, approached the checkout counter and pretended to purchase candy before pulling out a black and silver gun and demanding money.
The clerk said the suspect became angry when she couldn’t open the drawer and walked behind the counter, and pointed the gun at her head.
The robbery attempt happened at a store with a mobile camera in the parking lot.
