Attempted Robbery

Posted:

By Donnell Preskey, Assistant News Director - email

Bismarck Police arrest a 45-year-old man this afternoon after he tried to rob a pay day business.

Officer Pat Renz says a man walked into Money Bags at 216 East Main around 1:15 p.m.

The man was wearing a white ski mask and showed a knife.

Renz says he doesn't know what happened once the suspect was in the store, but left without money.

A witness saw the man and tackled him to the ground and held him there until officers arrived.

The suspect was arrested for attempted armed robbery and terrorizing.
