Armed man takes cash, cigarettes from Shawnee convenience store

An armed man took cash, cigars and cigarettes from a Shawnee convenience store in the early hours of Monday.
Shawnee police reported that at 2:45 a.m., a man entered the 7-Eleven at 11023 Johnson Drive and asked the clerk for cigars. The clerk turned around to retrieve the cigars, and when the clerk turned back, the man had produced a gun, Shawnee Police Capt. Bill Hisle said.
The man demanded cash and cartons of cigarettes. Before leaving, he told the clerk to go lay down in the back room and not call anybody. A K-9 unit search indicated the man went north across Johnson Drive to the Hartman Harware parking lot, where the trail ended, Hisle said, so he likely got in a car parked there and drove away.
Hisle said the man is described as a black male in his mid-30s, 5-foot-10 and 170-180 pounds with a mustache. He was wearing all-black clothing, including a stocking cap, jacket, pants and gloves. Anyone with information should contact.
