An armed man robbed the Dunkin' Donuts store at 3460 Wedgewood Lane in The Villages on Tues. night.

Sumter Co Sheriff's deputies said an employee was throwing trash into the dumpster shortly after 10pm when a suspect wearing a bandana over his nose and mouth approached. The suspect was carrying a silver handgun. He ordered the employee to "take me to the money".

The two entered the store and into the office where an undisclosed amount of cash was removed from the drawer.

The suspect was last seen running to the northwest.

I heard this from my friends and then looked it up on line. Wasn't in The Sun today, might be tomorrow.

After reading the article and the description of the alleged robber, it would not be a huge surprise if the local law enforcement is not taking a look at the employee. The description was just to genaric.

Just my 2 cents worth.

Wait a minute - how generic is someone wearing a black shirt with a rhinestone cross on the back?

All the clothing was described as dark, might want to add some little thing, like the rhinestone cross to make it sound better. Silver gun, really, sounds just right of a description to give law enforcement to waste time looking for. I think I would still be giving the employee a good looking over. Robbery went to smooth, could have also been a set up robbery. Just sounded fishy, but then I have only been doing this stuff for some 40 years.

I would expect that checking out the victim's story would be a matter of routine in police investigations.

I remember when my then high school teacher's daughter Michelle Mitchell was murdered on my birthday of 2-24 in 1976 near the University of Nevada, Reno campus.

The cops investigated all the high school students at my high school that had any connection with Michelle Mitchell. And they checked out if Michelle Mitchell had been involved in any behaviors that might lead to her murder like hooking, drug dealing, domestic fights, etc.

They kind of put the victims (Michelle Mitchell, Michelle's family, friends, the students of two Reno high schools, etc.) on trial before they finaly got a break in the Michelle Mitchell murder in 1979.

Also no mention of surveillance cameras. Always say if it walks like a duck, quakes like a duck, it just might be a duck.

It is standard procedure to vet all the family and friends in a case like you wrote about. The quicker that is done the quicker you can get on with the investigation about who really done it.

This was an armed robbery, and not something an "employee" made up. The DO have security camera and the police have been looking at them since Tuesday night. I do believe if you were leaving work & turned the light off and walked outside to take out the trash and something like that happened to you, your description would also be "a man wearing dark clothing!"

FYI, the victim was my fiance.

Let me apologize for other's posts. I have followed this board since 2007 and it seems to be a forum of three types a people. One group thinks everything is perfect in the Villages. Next group think they know it all. The third group is great people who try to answer newbies questions.
So don't take what anybody says on here too seriously. I'm so glad your fiance wasn't hurt but I'm sure it will have lingering negative effects. I also hope they get the guy. It's scary. Plus if they catch the guy, your fiance will probably have to be a witness against him.
So please don't be upset by what anybody says on this forum.
