Help find robber who wore a torn Ohio State jacket
Lexington police are asking the public to help them identify a man who robbed the Quality Inn on Newtown Court.
Police said the man, who wore a red Ohio State Buckeyes jacket, came into the inn at about 10 p.m. Sunday and told the desk clerk, “This is a robbery.” He implied that he had a weapon and demanded money, and when the clerk refused, he came behind the counter and took money from the cash drawer, police said.
The man, who left in a light-colored passenger car, is white, about 6 feet tall and about 40 to 50 years old.
