Southwest Missouri police are on the hunt for an armed robber who witnesses say held up a convenience store with a knife in Monett early this morning.
The clerk at the Casey's General Store in Monett says shortly after 5 a.m. a tall man wearing a dark mask entered the store, displayed a knife and demanded money.
The suspect first fled on bicycle and then ran on foot into a field.
Both Barry and Newton Counties and the state highway patrol are assisting in the search.
