Assistant Chief Melvin Garner said a man went into the Internet cafe shortly before 9:30 p.m., wearing a dark hooded sweatshirt or jacket and dark pants.
He was observed brandishing a silver revolver. He demanded money, the cafe employee complying, handing him three bags of cash as the suspect himself removed money from the cash register.
The man was bald on top with graying hair on the sides.
