An attempted robbery failed and police were able to apprehend the suspect. The situation unfolded at around 8 a.m. Monday when the report of a robbery in progress at the BP gas station at 12th and Union Avenue was received. The suspect attempted to grab cash from the register and a short scuffle occurred with the cashier before the suspect fled the scene, empty-handed.
Sheboygan Police Officers were given a description of the suspect; a School Resource Officer in the area spotted the person, and with the coordination of other officers the suspect was taken into custody.
The subject is described as a 31-year-old Sheboygan man who is now in the Sheboygan County Jail on the grounds of battery and strong-armed robbery, awaiting formal charges from the Sheboygan County District Attorney’s Office.
The cashier suffered minor injuries from the scuffle and police say that no ongoing public threat exists.
With the investigation currently active, anyone with information is encouraged to call either the Sheboygan Police Department at 920-459-3333, or anonymously through the Sheboygan Countywide Crimestoppers at 1-877-283-8436 (877-CUF-THEM).
