Case Number: 08028408

Address: 206 HENDERSONVILLE RD

Date: 09/07/2008

Suspect entered the parking lot of Mountain Energy in a white two-door Toyota compact car, possible an older Celica. Suspect entered the store and went straight to the beer cooler. He removed a case of Budweiser and a case of Bud Light and walked out the door. The store clerk attempted to get the tag number, but it was covered up by a piece of cardboard with a middle finger drawn on same. Suspect was a white male, approximately in his mid-20s and about 5`10, with dark brown hair. He was wearing a white T-shirt and blue jeans.
