Articles labeled: mapco express robbery

Police are claiming that a 10-year-old girl in Franklin, Tennessee tried to rob a Mapco Express late Monday night. The youngster made an interesting weapon choice:

[The store clerk] said he wasn’t sure what the girl wanted until she threw a rock that struck him in the chest. The rock was all she was armed with. The clerk said he was so stunned that the girl had to ask the clerk three times for the money.

“At that time, the clerk said, ‘You need to leave the store,’ and came around the counter toward the front of the store. At that time, the child ran out,” said Franklin Police Detective David Dixon.

It was the first attempted robbery at the busy Mapco, which is located just off Interstate 65.

The clerk said the main reason he called police was because he was worried about the young girl being out so late and trying to rob a store.

Uh, yeah, a note to everyone out there — if a 4th grader tries to hold up a convenience store, it’s probably a good idea to call the cops so maybe they can have a word with mom and dad.
