(MURFREESBORO) Around 6:30PM Monday night, the 99-Cent Discount Beer & Tobacco Store at 3325 Memorial Boulevard was robbed.

According to Public Information Officer Larry Flowers, "The man entered the store, pointed a handgun at the clerk and demanded money. He then tried unsuccessfully to lock the clerk in the bathroom."

The robber fled the scene in a tan or gold Toyota Sienna minivan.

To help you visualize the location, this is just down from Aldi's on Memorial and in the strip center with Subway. Perhaps you were in that area Monday night and saw a Toyota mini-van driving away.

He is considered armed and dangerous.
