FRANKFORT, Ky. (WTVQ) – The Franklin County Sheriff is asking for help from the public in identifying a suspect in an armed robbery Monday night.

According to the Sheriff, at about 8:20 p.m., deputies were called to the Evergreen Market on Evergreen Road in reference to the robbery.

When deputies arrived, they say the store clerk told them that a woman came into the store wearing a white hat with sunglasses.  The clerk further told deputies that she appeared to have had her face and arms covered in white paint or powder.

Deputies say the clerk told them that the woman pointed a handgun at him and demanded money from the register, saying she would shoot the clerk if he didn’t hand it over.

Deputies say the woman then drove off in what is believed to be a Ford Mustang, though they are not sure of the color.

The woman took off toward US 127 South, according to investigators.

The Sheriff is asking anyone who recognizes the suspect, or has any information about the incident to call his office, or the Text-A-Tip Line at (502) 320-3306.
