DEERING -- Lawrence County Sheriff’s deputies are looking for a gunman who robbed Judy’s Giovanni’s Tuesday evening.

Store employees told deputies that at approximately 8:30 p.m., a younger-looking man walked up to the drive-though window, brandished a gun and demanded money.

The man is described as five feet eight inches to five feet 11 inches tall, small build and approximately 17-22 years of age. He is said to have bleached-blond hair with dark roots.

Deputies are also investigating whether or not a teal-colored GEO Storm could have been involved in this incident. One witness said they saw a GEO Storm in the area prior to and after the robbery occurred. That vehicle is said to have

chrome side plating.

A cash reward is being offered for any information that leads to the arrest and prosecution of this individual.
