A man entered a David's Bridal in northeast Arkansas on Monday night and robbed the store at gunpoint, authorities said.

Officers with the Jonesboro Police Department said they were called to the formal wear store at 3009 East Highland Dr. around 8:30 p.m. in response to a robbery.

Witnesses told police that a man had entered the store and pointed a handgun at an employee and demanded the cash drawer from the register.
