Captain Andy Jackson said the victim asked the person who later robbed him for a ride home from the Presto on Julian R. Allsbrook Highway.

The man agreed and began driving toward the south Hamilton and Clinton street areas when the victim noticed the driver began acting suspicious.

The victim asked to be let out and when he got out of the vehicle, just after midnight, the driver also got out and trained a shotgun on the victim and demanded his wallet.

The victim surrendered his wallet, which contained $270, and went back to Presto to report the crime.

The suspect is described as a young black male with a short Afro. He was wearing a striped shirt and described as standing around 5 feet, 11 inches tall and weighing 140 pounds.

Anyone with information is encouraged to call the police department at 252-533-2810 or Crimestoppers at 252-583-4444.
