A Rosenberg police officer rescued a store clerk Thursday at noon after receiving a call that a robbery had just occurred at a Zig Zag’s store at 1018 Herndon.
Officer Drew Bryan, dispatched to the store, found the store clerk lying, bound, on the floor at the back of the store. After freeing her, Bryan learned a male suspect had entered the store, dragged her to the back and tied her up, according to police reports.
The woman told Bryan that the suspect then tried to remove money from the store’s cash register, but couldn’t figure out how to open it, police reports state. He then ran out of the store without taking any money.
The woman was taken by ambulance to Oak Bend Medical Center in Richmond, where she was treated and released, police said.
The suspect is described as an 18-year-old Hispanic male with light skin and hazel or light-green eyes, 5 feet, 8 inches to 5 feet 10 inches tall and weighing about 160 pounds. He was wearing a white “muscle” shirt, police said, and baggy blue-jean shorts.
Anyone with information about the incident is urged to call Rosenberg Police Detective Kenneth Patmon at 832-595-3814.
