Citrus County Sheriff’s Office dispatchers received a call shortly after 9:30 p.m. on Saturday night reporting that the Dollar General store at 1385 N. Florida Ave., Hernando, had been robbed for the second time in less than a week.

The clerk told responding deputies that she left the office and went to the register when a customer rang the bell for assistance. She said a white male, possibly in his 20s, had a two-liter bottle of soda on the counter.

She said that he told her he had a gun, and to give him all the money in the cash drawer. Although no firearm was displayed, when she opened the register, he grabbed an undetermined amount of cash from the till. He then exited through the front doors and fled the area on foot in a northerly direction.

No injuries were reported.

The suspect is from approximately 5-feet-9 inches to 6 feet tall, and has a slender build. He was dressed in a gray and black striped polo shirt, khaki-colored pants and dark shoes. He also had on a gray toboggan cap.
