Gunman robs Sonic in Little Rock

Authorities are looking for a man who robbed a Little Rock Sonic at gunpoint early Thursday morning.

Police say the gunman went to the Sonic at 2917 Cantrell Road, approached the manager as he arrived shortly after 4 a.m. and demanded money from the safe.

The manager was unable to open the safe, at which point the robber took money from a petty cash box as well as the manager's cell phone and a business phone, according to a Little Rock Police Department report.

The robber then left through the back door, the report said. Police believe he may have fled in a dark-colored Chevy Impala that was spotted parked in a nearby alley.

No one was injured.

The robber is described as a black man dressed all in black who stood about 6 feet tall and weighed about 200 pounds.
