Armed Robbery in Williamson County

Images

The Williamson County Sheriff's Office is investigating a reported armed robbery near Johnston City.
Deputies say the victim told them he was walking in West Frankfort when he accepted a ride from a female acquaintance and three unknown men in a silver extended cab truck. They drove to a remote location north of Johnston City, where two of the men pointed handguns at the victim and the third man displayed a knife.

The men demanded all of the victim's property, forced him from the truck and drove off.

Anyone with information on this case is asked to contact the Williamson County Sheriff's Office or Crimestoppers at 1-800-414-TIPS.
