BRIEF: Man robs 7-Eleven store in ManateeMANATEE, Jan 07, 2013 (The Bradenton Herald - McClatchy-Tribune Information Services via COMTEX) -- Manatee County sheriff's deputies were looking for a man who robbed a 7-Eleven store early Monday. About 1:25 a.m., the suspect entered the store at 4451 Tallevast Road and asked for a pack of cigarettes. When the clerk set the cigarettes on the counter, the suspect stated, "This is a robbery. I don't want to hurt anyone," states a news release from the sheriff's office. The suspect added, "I'm already wanted. I know I'm on video. I don't care." The suspect did not show or imply that he had a weapon, but the clerk did hand over $75 for fear of one, according to the sheriff's office. The suspect fled the store and got into a small dark-colored SUV on Lockwood Ridge Road. The suspect was described as a man in his late 20s or early 30s, standing about 6 feet tall and weighing 200 pounds. He was wearing blue jeans, a black shirt and a tan hat, according to the sheriff's office. ___ (c)2013 The Bradenton Herald (Bradenton, Fla.)
