Indianola police have released photos of a person of interest who is a suspect in the attempted armed robbery of the Walmart on Tuesday morning.
According to Chief Edrick Hall, the man went into the store and headed directly to the pharmacy. While standing in line at the window, he allowed several people to go ahead of him before he finally approached the clerk and handed her a note that contained a list prescription painkillers.
The man then lifted his shirt and showed the clerk what she described as a handgun. The clerk subsequently handed the note to the pharmacy manager who promptly called in the police. The unidentified man reportedly left the store and had apparently exited the parking lot before Hall and other officers arrived.
Later, it was determined that the man fled west on U.S. 82 in a burnt orange colored Chevrolet Avalanche.
Hall said no employees or customers were injured in the incident.
He has reached out to other law enforcement agencies to assist in finding the suspect and anyone with any information please contact the Indianola Police Department at 662-887-1811.
