The St. Bernard Parish Sheriff’s Office is asking the public’s help to identify a man who robbed a Paris Road store in Chalmette on Wednesday night, Feb 12, showing a handgun in his waistband and forcing a clerk to fill a bag with money, Sheriff James Pohlmann said.

Anyone with information on the possible identity of the man should call the Sheriff’s Office at (504) 271-2501 or Crimestoppers at (504) 822-1111. Callers could be eligible for a reward if the information leads to an arrest.

No one was injured in the 9:10 p.m. robbery at a Dollar General Store in the 3300 block of Paris Road.

The man, described as in his late teens to early 20s, wore a red hooded pullover and a dark-colored back pack, the sheriff said.

He ran out afterward but sheriff’s detectives believe he may have gotten into a white vehicle that passed the store at the time of the robbery.
