Suspect was wearing a dark jacket, camouflage pattern pants, a dark, head covering and tinted goggles. After obtaining an undetermined amount of money, the suspect left the scene on foot.

A reward is being offered for information which leads to the arrest of this individual. Anyone with information is asked to call the FBI at 865-544-0751 or the KSCO at 865-215-2243. This matter is being investigated jointly by the FBI SSTF and KCSO Major Crimes Unit.
