On Friday, May 6, 2011, at approximately 11:55am, an unknown male entered the Dairy Queen located on 1900 Tamarack Circle South and placed an order. The male then told the clerk that he forgot his wallet and walked out of the store. Upon returning moments later, the male suspect walked around the customer service counter, pointed a silver semi-automatic handgun at the clerks and demanded money. As the employees complied, one pointed to the security camera, causing the suspect to look directly at it. After getting the money, the suspect fled the store.
