Police Looking For Gunman Who Robbed Dollar General

Anyone with information regarding the robber's identity and whereabouts is encouraged to call 216-321-1234

Cleveland Heights Police are looking for the man who used a gun to rob the Dollar General on Lee Road last week.

At about 7:30 p.m. on Feb. 13, a man put entered the store, put a gun to an employee's head and started making demands.

He told nobody to move, called for a manager and demanded money.

Witnesses described him as a light-skinned black man that was 18 to 20 years old.

He had a slender build and was between six feet and six feet, three inches tall.

He had a tattoo underneath his right eye and either another tattoo -- perhaps of a bar code -- or a bruise beneath his left eye.

After the manager gave him money, he left the store.

A Cleveland Heights police officer spotted a man who fit the robber's description -- even seeing a handgun in his hand -- soon thereafter on Cedar Road.

The officer tried to arrest him but the man ran away on foot.

Anyone with information regarding the robber or his whereabouts is asked to call Cleveland Heights Police Department at 216-321-1234.

Agreed. New site is much too busy and/or confusing. Old format was easy to navigate and followRead More certain stories , a very cumbersome ordeal now. Thumbs down on the change.

I agree. I had even been tempted to start a blog just before this new and "improved"Read More layout. No longer interested in doing that - can't find anything on this patch.

Diane, for what it's worth, I believe FutureHeights has announced their intention to have a meetingRead More where the community can discuss ideas for Severance.

Along those lines, Diane, I thought an indoor greenhouse would be a good idea. Classes on how toRead More create gardens, grow food, store and preserve food would be an asset to the City.

Diane H. Dreizen & bachtobroadway42 - what interesting ideas! I'd love to see the whole messRead More raised and the area turned into a public park/recreation area with walking trails, bicycle paths, community gardens, etc. It seems the wind turbines could be in a place like that too. That's my dream, but we'll probably get some hideous redundant commercial development instead.

Just ignore them then. The important thing is what we're talking about HERE.

Please join the conversation. The proposed school bond would be a timely starting point!
