Lake Charles –
On Wednesday, January 11 at approximately 10:00 p.m. a man entered the Highway 90 Express, located at 1193 Highway 12 East, in DeQuincy, armed with a handgun and demanded money from the clerk. The clerk did not comply and pulled a bat. The suspect fled the store on foot, after breaking the door, into the wooded area near the store.
