Last night we told you about the drama at the BTB headquarters. At about 4:30, two men - one armed with a knife - the other with a gun - went into the office and held up the cashier. Police today confirmed that they did grab the cash pan with $1,732.00 dollars before they dashed out. But the security guard was on hand and he shot one of them.
That man is Clarence Lamb from the nearby Jump Street area where he is known as "Monkey Man." Yesterday when we arrived on the scene he was slumped on the ground - after he was shot in the calf with the Security's issued.38 pistol.
The other robber escaped, but not with the money. Police searched the area and recovered two cash pans, one which contained $300.00 dollars in cash and the other which contained $1,432.78 in cash - which is the sum total of what had been stolen.
Lamb has been hospitalized and he is expected to be charged as soon as he is well enough to appear in court. His accomplice is still at large.
