HPD investigating attempted robbery at Dollar General

Hopkinsville police are investigating an attempted robbery at the East Ninth Street Dollar General Saturday night.

Hopkinsville Police Sgt. Ed Eastman says a young light-skinned black female entered the store about 8:30 p.m. armed with a taser.

She threatened employees, went behind the counter and unsuccessfully attempted to get into the cash register, before entering the back office in a failed attempt to unplug security cameras.

The suspect did not get away with any cash and no one was injured.

Anyone with information on the incident should call Crime Stoppers at 270-887-TIPS.
