Two men sought in armed robbery Melodie Phelps News Editor Two men are being sought following an armed robbery, reported at the City Pool Hall on Friday, September 17. Officers with the Monticello Police Department and deputies from the Wayne County Sheriff’s Department responded at 9:34 p.m. to a report of an assault victim at the City Pool Hall in downtown Monticello. On arrival, officers learned that an employee of the business, Jeff Upchurch, had been discovered unconscious inside the business by his wife after apparently being struck on the head during a reported armed robbery. Upchurch stated that two males entered the business wearing camouflage masks, black gloves, blue jeans and tennis shoes, brandishing a handgun and demanding money. After taking an undetermined amount of cash, and two additional handguns, one of the perpetrators struck Upchurch on the head with an undetermined object, knocking him unconscious. Upchurch was taken by Wayne County EMS to the local hospital for treatment. Monticello Police are looking for two male subjects for questioning in connection with the incident. One is described as being a white male, approximately 6’ to 6’2” tall, with a stocky build. The other is described as a white male, approximately 5’6” to 5’7” tall, weighing approximately 130 pounds. Anyone with any information is asked to contact the Monticello Police Department at (606) 348-9313. Add a comment |
