81-year-old man robbed at knifepoint in Little Rock Wal-Mart parking lot, police say

A Little Rock resident says he was robbed by a man wielding a knife in a Wal-Mart parking lot Tuesday morning, according to the Little Rock Police Department.

Clifford Jones, 81, told police he had finished shopping at the store at 2700 S. Shackleford Road around 10:40 a.m. and entered his vehicle when a man approached his driver's-side door, according to a police report. The robber opened the door and demanded money from Jones, threatening him with a knife, Jones told police.

Jones gave the man all the cash he had on him, about $175, and the man got into the back of a black four-door Chevrolet and left, according to the report.

Jones told police that the car had a Razorback license plate, though he could not see the number, according to the report. He described the man as black, between 35 and 45 years old and around 5 feet 8 inches tall, police said.

Police searched the area and did not find the vehicle or the man, according to the report.
