Heading: April Robbery

Text: On April 21, 1995, Laura Jackson [1] (Jackson) was working the night shift at a convenience store in Sussex County. At approximately 3:30 a.m., a man entered the store, made a purchase, and left. He returned a few minutes later. He told Jackson to go behind the counter and give him the money in the register. According to Jackson, when she hesitated, he reached underneath his tee-shirt and belt with his right hand. He then pointed something heavy and bulky at her from under his shirt. Jackson thought he had a gun. Jackson complied with his instructions and handed him approximately fifty dollars in cash. The robber then motioned for Jackson to enter a back room near the end of the counter. He gestured for Jackson to stay there until he was gone. The robber left the store. Jackson called the police. She described the robber to the police as a short, stocky, medium-complected black man with close-cut hair and some type of facial hair, either a thin mustache or goatee.
