Last Monday, just before 6 p.m., a man—donning dark clothing head to toe—entered the medical building and walked directly to the back of the office demanding money from a female employee of Herndon's, police said.
Peters police Capt. Yanchak told us the conversation between the suspect and the doctor continued as the suspect walked backward through the office toward the front door. He then fled, left empty-handed and hasn't been identified, according to police.
