The 84 Chevron at Highway 84 and Cowart Lane was robbed at gunpoint early Sunday morning, according to Lincoln County Sheriff Steve Rushing.

According to the sheriff’s department, a man entered the store around 4:40 a.m. and asked the cashier for a pack of cigarettes. As the cashier opened the cash drawer, the man pulled a gun, grabbed the cash tray and ran out of the building, according to the sheriff’s department.

As the man left the building, he fired a shot into the air and got into his car with the money, according to sheriff’s officials.

Sheriff Rushing reported that the amount of cash was less than $300, but the business has not released an exact amount.

The suspect wore a hat and kept his head facing the floor during the robbery, but officials said that according to video footage of the incident, the suspect is a black male, anywhere from 5 feet, 8 inches to 6 feet tall, weighing around 160 to 180 pounds and with a full-sleeve of tattoos on his right arm.

The man drove away from the scene of the crime in a four-door, silver car.

The armed robbery is still under investigation, and the suspect is still at large.
