Cricket store employee reports scare

Posted: September 19, 2012 - 3:10pm

Conway police were called to the Cricket store on Oak Street again on Tuesday evening after a store employee reported that a man known to her entered the store, and reaching under his shirt, pulled out his hand and pointed it in the shape of a gun at her, saying, "Give me all your money!"

Police say the woman was still shaking when they arrived at the scene.

The woman told police the incident had scared her, and that she had "still not recovered" from the Sept. 7 robbery of the store, when a man wearing a suit of yellow raincoat material entered the business and demanded money at gunpoint.

A police officer made contact with the man via phone, who reportedly said, "I know, this is funny."

The officer advised the man that he did not find any humor in the situation, and told him that he had scared the employee "half to death."

The man was advised not to call the store or enter it "for any reason" or he would be arrested for criminal trespass.

If Mark Vaught

If Mark Vaught had been responsible, the employee wouldn't have been scared "half to death". From what I understand, Mark Vaught doesn't do anything by half measure!

I Agree

Unpublished

There was NONE of this simulated finger pointing gun play @ the cricket store before Mr. Mark Vaught came to power.
That sort of thing was left for the folks @ the feed store and Massey's Hardware.
