The Maysville Police Department is investigating an armed robbery at the Washington 1st Stop gas station which took place around 10:45 p.m., Wednesday.
According to MPD Detective Ken Fuller, a male employee of the gas station, located at the intersection of U.S. 68 and U.S. 62, called the Maysville-Mason County emergency dispatch center around 10:54 p.m., to report the robbery.
Officers from the police department arrived on the scene and conducted a search of the area after the employee provided a description of the robbery suspect.
The man was described as a white male wearing a dark colored, hooded shirt and dark clothing. The man was armed with a handgun when he entered the store and demanded money, police said. Fuller said the man's face was covered, prohibiting the employee from getting a description of the suspect's face or estimate of age.
