On August 31 2018 at
approximately 9:35pm, Deputies of the Calvert County Sheriff’s Office responded
to the Fastop Convenience Store located at 9880 Southern Maryland Blvd in
Dunkirk, MD for the report of an armed robbery of the establishment. The clerk
reported to responding deputies that he was closing out the lottery register
when a white male wearing a black mask ran into the store brandishing a
handgun. The suspect jumped the counter
and then grabbed the money from the register drawer. The suspect jumped back
over the counter and subsequently discharged his handgun in the direction of
the wall behind the counter. The clerk was not hurt during the confrontation.
Detectives from the Calvert
County Criminal Investigations Bureau arrived on the scene and assumed the
investigation. The scene was processed and numerous items of evidence were
recovered. A review of the surveillance footage revealed a description of the
suspect. The suspect is described as a
thin, white male wearing tan cargo pants, grey New Balance sneakers, and a
black tee shirt. The suspect was possibly between 18 and 30 years of age. The
suspect wore a black mask covering half of his face and was not wearing gloves.
The suspect has a tattoo on his right forearm. It was confirmed that the
