The suspect proceeded to have the clerk on duty place the money on hand into a bag that he handed her. The clerk was not injured, according to the report, and the suspect exited the store and fled to the parking lot of the nearby Someplace Inn. There, he entered the passenger side of a black Mazda car to leave the area.
