■A parking attendant at the city’s parking garage was held up at gunpoint on Tuesday, July 23.
At about 6:30 p.m. a man with a gun rushed the pay booth of the garage at the 1200 block of Fourth Street. The suspect demanded money and pointed a gun at the employee.
The suspect ran off with about $200, fleeing on foot and then possibly jumping into a black Nissan Maxima with no license plate.
The suspect is a black male in his 30’s, five feet, six inches tall, with a medium build and wearing a blue workout jacket and gray pants.
