Lieutenant Steven Leffew, Officer in Charge of the Smithville Police Department, says officers were called to the restaurant at 4:59 a.m where an employee stated that while she was preparing to open for business, a white male, approximately five feet, ten inches tall came in, produced a knife and said “give me your money”. The man was wearing a black jacket and blue jeans.
The clerk had laid down a money bag on the counter and the man grabbed it, left the store, and fled in an unknown direction. The bag contained an undetermined amount of money.
No one else was in the restaurant at the time. The employee was not injured.
