Police are seeking a robber described as a stocky white male in his mid-20s to mid-30,s with a rough or acne-scarred face, reddish brown goatee and crooked teeth who stands at 6 feet in height after an incident near Church's Chicken earlier this week.

The victim told police at 10:04 p.m., Monday he'd come from inside Church's on Oak Street and had been parked behind the restaurant between the business and a car wash, where he was changing some fuses in his vehicle. There he was slammed into the dash and felt something hard pressed into his back, said the victim, who reported the robber saying, "Don't move, I've got a .44 magnum and I'll shoot you, give me all your stuff."

According to the victim, he mentioned to the robber that the two may actually know each other, and the robber told him to be quiet or he would kill him. The robber also told the victim not to call the police.

The suspect fled the scene as the front passenger in a late 90s early 2000s four-door model white Chevrolet S-10 Blazer. Three others were in the vehicle and all appeared to be wearing hoodies, said the witness, who added that the suspect himself was wearing an orange hoody and dark baggy pants. The suspect was armed with a large silver and chrome handgun.

Officers with Conway Police Department reported Wednesday that the victim in Friday's aggravated robbery at McDonald's on Oak Street has stopped cooperating with their investigation and asked police to stop looking into the incident.

A motorist Friday night had been approached by a black male aged 20-25, standing 5-foot-8 and weighing about 165 pounds, whom others may have called "Bear," and who asked the victim for a ride. When the man got into the victim's vehicle, the suspect pulled out a black handgun and told him to keep driving.

The suspect made the victim drive to Little Rock and go to six different ATM machines to withdraw $100 each time, and he was taken to several houses and motels before being released about four hours later "after repeated phone calls from (the victim's wife), which he put on speaker phone," the victim told police. The suspect was described as being muscular with tattoos on both arms as well as his back and face. The suspect wore black pants and a jacket with a white sleeveless shirt. He had short hair and "scruffy, short facial hair," the victim told police.
