Fayetteville

police are looking for an armed robber who struck

at a local convenience store in the wee hours of

Tuesday morning.

According

to reports, officers responded at about 45

minutes past midnight to the Flashfoods Exxon at

340 E. Lanier Avenue, where the employee on duty

said an unknown assailant produced a gun and took

$201.96 from the cash register.

The

suspect left the scene in a black 1980 Ford

Bronco, reports indicated, with the last two

characters on the license plate reading QX.

In

two other unrelated incidents, Fayetteville

police pulled over two drivers Monday and

subsequently arrested them on drug charges.

1980 Pontiac Bonneville was stopped just before 9

a.m. Monday on Ga. Highway 85 near the rear exit

to PetSmart, reports said. The reason for the

stop was a seatbelt violation.

Upon

examination of the car, however, police found

what was suspected to be crack cocaine. Reggie

Brown, 24, of Jonesboro was arrested for cocaine

possession, seatbelt violation and no proof of

insurance.

Monday

afternoon, police responded to a call for a

suspected DUI. The car in question, a 1990

Chevrolet Camaro, was in the parking lot of the

Speedway at 537 N. Glynn Street, where it was

parked with the driver sitting inside.

Police

said the driver sat for about 15 minutes before

moving the car to the other side of the parking

lot. Officers then examined the driver and

arrested her.

Charlene

Louise Harris, 47, of Fayetteville was charged

with driving under the influence of drugs. She

was taken to Fayette Community Hospital for a

drug test before being taken to jail.
